Rise of the Machines
summary
Ten years from Hudson automated builds the talk shows concrete automations that cut repetitive work: Agent Charlie installs and configures new developer laptops, Git hooks block branches from a red master and auto-suggest reviewers from commit history, an image diff flags UI pixel regressions, a test balancer (Hallelujah) parallelizes suites and a flaky test detector quarantines 817 tests in four months, and a log analyzer called Hercules matches errors to KB entries and suggests fixes. Most of these run in production and materially speed feedback.
