Without additional artifacts beyond what human-driven CD requires, agent-generated code accumulates drift and technical debt faster than teams can detect it.
This is undeniably true at this point and it’s cool to see frameworks and systems emerging for addressing it. This is the first time I’d heard of “agentic CD” and it’s super interesting!
