[Перевод] Cloudflare: Оркестрация AI-ревью кода в промышленных масштабах

Code review — отличный механизм для отлова багов, но это почти гарантированный способ создать «бутылочное горлышко» для всей команды.

Чтобы решить проблему, они построили CI-нативную систему оркестрации вокруг 7 узкоспециализированных ИИ-агентов (безопасность, качество кода, производительность). Итог: 130 тысяч проверок за месяц, среднее время ревью — 3.5 минуты. Перевод подробной технической статьи от инженеров Cloudflare об архитектуре Read more

Digital Freedom: когда возможность существует, а действие остаётся недоступным

Будущее возникает не только из технологий или новых ограничений в цифровом пространстве. Оно возникает и из способов, которыми люди учатся жить рядом с ними. Например VPN, саморедактура для снижения рисков, лайки вместо ответов, mute вместо постоянной доступности. Это помогает пройти, говорить, оставаться на связи, в общем помогает продолжать движение там, где прямое и живое прохождение стало труднее. Но со временем, то что было временной адаптацией может начать восприниматься как естественный... Read more

Officials say the $33 million project could reduce stop-and-go traffic and travel times. According to SFGATE, similar systems in Australia and Denver reportedly cutting delays by 20% to 65%.
