Cutting CI from 26 to 5 minutes to keep AI agents iterating fast
DanielLockyer · x · 2026-10-12
- Developer @hdnvim shares a practical optimization for AI agent workflows: faster feedback loops mean faster iteration and shipping.
- By optimizing tests and splitting CI tasks, total CI time dropped from 26 minutes to just 5 minutes.
- DanielLockyer amplifies the point: faster feedback loops = faster iterating = faster shipping = happier teams.
A concrete reference for teams running autonomous coding agents against slow test suites.
