🔗 Small batches still matter when agents write the code

The struggle with managing pull requests remains relevant, even with AI agents involved in coding. A team recently shared their attempts to cap pull requests at 500 lines, usually falling short. This limit aims to prevent unwieldy code submissions, which can exceed 10,000 lines. The concept of Continuous Delivery emphasizes smaller, manageable changes to ensure that human reviewers can comprehend updates and swiftly roll back if necessary. Despite agents handling the code, understanding the system is crucial for developers. Therefore, breaking down larger changes into smaller, reviewable components is still the best practice. Agents can assist by drafting plans in Markdown files, which can be updated throughout the coding process, allowing for organized and efficient development.
