Brian Wald writes about the emerging challenges created by increasingly autonomous software development workflows, with a particular focus on how AI agents are reshaping engineering practices. His work explores what happens when agents begin to participate directly in codebases, open merge requests, and interact with highly controlled pipelines.

Through his stories, readers can learn how to think ahead about auditability, accountability, and traceability in AI-augmented development environments. Wald examines where existing tools and processes fall short, what regulators and stakeholders are likely to expect, and how teams can design workflows that remain transparent and trustworthy even as more responsibility shifts to automated agents.
