Shift focus from code generation to tiered agent validation processes
◆ 75RelevanceOn a story from The New Stack3w ago
Since code is no longer the bottleneck, your startup’s velocity depends on how quickly you can verify agentic output. You must design a 'multi-lane' SDLC that applies different levels of scrutiny based on the risk of each change.
Takeaways

- Replace monolithic PR processes with risk-weighted verification tiers.
- Invest engineering headcount into automated oversight rather than manual coding.
