# Rebooting software delivery for humans and agents in the AI era

The software delivery stack was built for human workflows at human speed, and it no longer holds. Agents ship at volume; vibe-coded apps need the shortest path to production. So we are rebooting the stack: 
the obsolete rituals and ceremonies go, and what is left is a smaller set of tools with the automation already built into them.
