AI for coding has gone from novel technology to widely adopted in a matter of months. Most engineering organizations now use AI to generate code, write tests, and assist in code reviews. New code is becoming dirt cheap to write - but our delivery pipelines remain miserably unprepared for the tsunami of new code flowing at a much more rapid pace.

Our delivery pipelines need a hard reset to allow use to embrace the AI revolution - and engineering leaders need to get started TODAY.

This talk will dive into where AI is already starting to break our delivery pipelines. While scaling CI/CD is easy, and we can always throw more CPU at it, scaling the humans in the process is the hard part. This talk will demonstrate how massive amounts of new AI-generated code are impacting our pipelines in ways that will require either greater headcount, or smarter, automated pipelines.

You'll come away with concrete ideas for modernizing your delivery pipeline to avoid the new bottlenecks and unlock the new levels of engineering productivity AI is promising.
