inner loop got fast.
Outer loop (CI, merge queue, review, rollout) did not.
The gap is where the week goes.

- "CI and the pipeline are going to be a huge bottleneck." Merge queues used to be a 20-30 engineer problem. Eli's take: if your 10-person team is running agents, you probably need one already. Trunk's @EliSchleifer on Platform Engineering Podcast with @CoryODaniel tomorrow.

AI is making code generation 10x faster, but the rest of the dev lifecycle still feels stuck in 2019. A thread on why our tooling is buckling under AI-paced output 🧵 - Thanks for the great session by @Mayankbhola from @lambdatesting presenting on AI-driven testing with KaneAI at @githubuniverse! AI-generated tests bring incredible coverage, but we're seeing a pattern: rapid test suite growth often means more flaky tests that block merge queues.

00:00 - 💸 Your CI bill is growing faster than your team, and it's not sustainable. Here's why most merge queues are expensive... and how to fix it: 🧵👇Replying to @trunkioReal customer example: - Team of 50 engineers - Was spending: $15K/month on CI - After Trunk: $4K/month on CI - Savings: $11K/month vs $500 Trunk cost ROI: 22x in CI costs alone (not counting dev productivity gains) 4/5The math is simple: - Spending $3K+ monthly on CI? - Have 20+ engineers? - 30+ PRs per day? Trunk pays for itself in CI savings alone. 📊 Read More: trunk.io/blog/outgrowin… 🚀 Learn more about Trunk Merge Queue: trunk.io/merge-queue 5/5
