Don’t get one-shotted: Use AI to test, review, merge, and deploy code

Industry Trends - Software development has two loops: an inner loop focused on development and an outer loop focused on review [1] - AI adoption is increasing among developers, with nearly every developer surveyed using AI tools [2] - 46% of code on GitHub is being written by AI, indicating a significant shift in code generation [3] - The inner loop is changing due to AI, making developers more productive and producing higher volumes of code [3][4] - The outer loop is becoming a bottleneck as developers have to review, test, merge, and deploy higher volumes of code [5] Graphite's Solution (Diamond) - Graphite aims to create a new outer loop to address the challenges posed by increased code volume [6] - Graphite's AI code review platform, Diamond, focuses on high signal, low noise, deep understanding of codebase and change history [13] - Diamond summarizes, prioritizes, and reviews each change, integrating with CI and testing infrastructure [13] - Diamond aims to reduce code review cycles, enforce quality and consistency, and keep code private and secure [13] - AI-generated feedback from Diamond's comments are accepted at a 52% rate, higher than human comments (45-50%) [15][16]
