auto-approves builds after passing thermal stress tests
You run benchmarks on flash storage drives to catch regressions. Then you block production until performance numbers match.
The one thing AI can't do
You can still explain why a specific kernel patch triggers silent flash garbage collection cycles.
Your enemy, your name, your date. Post it.
Step by step, from the first quiet change to Deprecation Day.
Week 4
Sensors begin logging every performance deviation you currently track manually.
Month 4
The AI starts identifying exactly which code commit caused the latency spike.
Month 8
Deployment pipelines gain the ability to reject builds without your signature.
Month 12
Neural nets predict performance regressions before you even write the test.
Month 14 · D-Day
The gatekeeper service replaces you entirely with a faster decision engine.
What you cost, what the machine costs, and what you get on the way out.
