The most important investment in agentic coding velocity may have nothing to do with agents. Amplitude tripled its PR volume in six months. PR cycle time went from 5.2 hours to 44 minutes. Almost all of that came from fixing unglamorous infrastructure. 𝐂𝐈 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝟑𝟎 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝟑: they swapped the JavaScript toolchain for native equivalents (tsc to tsgo, ESLint to oxlint, Prettier to oxfmt), moved to affected-only builds in Turborepo, and ran independent stages concurrently. Most tools got about 10x faster. 𝐅𝐮𝐥𝐥 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐮𝐩 𝐢𝐧 𝟐𝟖 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐬: a custom CLI built on devbox starts every local service with one command, down from 3 minutes. 𝐕𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐧𝐨 𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐞𝐭𝐮𝐩: add a label to a PR and get a frontend preview in under five minutes, or an ephemeral copy of the backend stack in the cloud.

Something definitely seems screwy with the Fable 5.1 usage. Probably a caching bug in the new Claude Code if I had to guess. I managed to blow through all my 28 Max 20x accounts today (at least the 5-hour usage limits) just doing audits of a bunch of my projects. First time ever.
