You're Spending Six Figures on AI Models. The Bottleneck Is a 4-Minute CI Pipeline

For fifty years, every piece of software was built for you. The compiler waits because you need time to read the output. The API paginates because that’s what fits on your screen. The test framework takes five seconds to start because you weren’t going to act on the results any faster.

You were always the slowest thing in the system, and everything else just had to keep up with you. Which wasn’t hard.
