For agentic AI, other disciplines need their own Git

Software engineering didn't adopt AI agents faster because engineers are more adventurous, or the use case was better. They adopted them more quickly because they already had Git. Long before AI arrived, software development had normalized version control, branching, structured approvals, reproducibility, and diff-based accountability. These weren't conveniences. They were the infrastructure that made collaboration possible. When AI agents appeared, they fit naturally into a discipline that already knew how to absorb change without losing control.

Generative AI exponentially brings down the cost of building solutions. It lets people build exactly what they need to solve an exact problem in an exact moment. It lets people own their own solutions. This is great for a lot of specific problems that need specific solutions that wouldn't normally get solved easily. This has been the evergreen promise of computers and programming and hacking. But there's a difference between solving your specific problem, and owning a problem domain.

Getting Feedback from Test-Driven Development and Testing in Production

Hast mentioned that they trust their unit tests and integration tests individually, and all of them together as a whole. They have no end-to-end tests: We achieved this by using good separation of concerns, modularity, abstraction, low coupling, and high cohesion. These mechanisms go hand in hand with TDD and pair programming. The result is a better domain-driven design with high code quality. Previously, they had more HTTP application integration tests that tested the whole app, but they have moved away from this (or just have some happy cases) to more focused tests that have shorter feedback loops, Hast mentioned.
