One Stripe Engineer Merged 600 AI-Written Changes in Six Months, One Rollback

Patrick Collison cites a Stripe engineer who merged 600+ AI-written code changes in H1 2026 (5 per working day) with only one rollback, arguing AI can dramatically speed up coding while keeping reliability high. Commenters note it only works because tests, staged rollouts and fast rollbacks were built first — the part most teams copying this will skip.
