no comments, no deps, no docs, no tests (except e2e ones), no PRs, very little CI, a lot of CD - this might be the uncomfortable future we're headed to
X account: no comments, no deps, no docs, no tests (except e2e ones), no PRs, very little CI, a lot of CD - this might be the uncomfortable future we're headed to
X account @gakonst posted a description of a software development model that reduces comments, dependencies, documentation, tests, and PR, but increases continuous delivery, and said this might be the trend of the future.
Key points

AI-assisted interpretation
The following is analysis, separate from reported facts. Verify important claims independently.
Software development process: If this model spreads, it may increase delivery speed, but it may also weaken code maintainability, review, and quality assurance; currently, this is only a personal opinion, and its actual impact cannot be confirmed.
Why it matters to readers
This is the X account's personal judgment about software development trends, not an event that has occurred or a fact independently verified by sources.
Focus: software development process. Observation period: medium to long term
Risks and unknowns
- Whether any actual projects or teams adopt a similar development process
- Subsequent data on the impact of relevant practices on delivery speed, quality, and maintenance costs
- Reverse condition for the assessment of the impact on the software development process: If subsequent projects increase documentation, code review, testing, or CI investment again, or if opposing engineering practice trends emerge, this assessment should be downgraded.
