Continuous Integration: A Bittersweet Love Story
summary
Argues that real CI means committing to master/mainline daily and getting fast, visible feedback; cites Stack Overflow data (~70% commit daily) and Gartner enterprise numbers (40% practice CI, 40% have no plans) and a research finding that ~90% of claimed CI is actually CI theater. Mentions common tools like Jenkins and CircleCI, describes build-and-test servers that run on every commit, and gives a horror example: one commit with ~100 files and ~7,000 lines that breaks code review and integration.
