Platform and DevOps Engineers, let’s face it: your CI pipelines weren’t built for the age of AI. As developers pair with autonomous agents, the volume of code is skyrocketing. These agents are prolific, but they are also messy—pushing commits that ignore linting rules, drift from templates, and incinerate your cloud build budget.

To survive this "agentic" era, we need to shift the center of gravity back to the workstation. This session introduces Local-First CI: a strategy to give developers (and their AI counterparts) immediate feedback without the "push-and-pray" loop.

In this talk, we will explore:
- The architecture of a robust local pipeline that mirrors your cloud environment.
- Strategies for an incremental rollout that doesn't disrupt existing workflows.
- The "Trust Gap": How to transform local checks into a legitimate gate rather than a suggestion.
- Live Build: We’ll build a Local-First CLI interface to show you exactly how to deliver your organization from CI purgatory.
