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. Every timeout, every rate limit, every login screen was calibrated to the pace of a brain that processes about 3 bits per second. Nobody decided to make it slow. You were always the slowest thing in the system, and everything else just had to keep up with you. Which wasn’t hard.
