now AWS guy doing it !
"My team is no different—we are producing code at 10x of typical high-velocity team. That's not hyperbole - we've actually collected and analyzed the metrics."

"The Cost-Benefit Rebalance"
In here he basically just talks about setting up mock dependencies and introducing intermittent failures into them. Mock dependencies have been around for decades, nothing new here.
It sounds like this test system you set up is as time consuming as solving the actual problems you're trying to solve, so what time are you saving?
"Driving Fast Requires Tighter Feedback Loop"
Yes if you're code-vomiting with agents and your test infrastructure isn't rock solid things will fall apart fast, that's obvious. But setting up a rock solid test infrastructure for your system involves basically solving most of the hard problems in the first place. So again, what? What value are you gaining here?
"The communication bottleneck"
Amazon was doing this when I worked there 12 years ago. We all sat in the same room.
"The gains are real - our team's 10x throughput increase isn't theoretical, it's measurable."
Show the data and proof. Doubt.
Yeah I don't know. This reads like complete nonsense honestly.
Paraphrasing: "AI will give us huge gains, and we're already seeing it. But our pipelines and testing will need to be way stronger to withstand the massive increase in velocity!"
Velocity to do what? What are you guys even doing?
Amazon is firing 30,000 people by the way.
