Continuous Integration: That’s Not What They Meant
summary
Argues that true continuous integration means commit daily to main, every commit triggers an automated build and test, and the build is back to green within 10 minutes; claims trunk‑based development (TBD) yields faster delivery and less merge hell, supported by DORA research. Recommends concrete practices: pairing and mob programming, test‑driven development, fast incremental automated tests, refactoring to minimize dependencies, run tests locally before pushing, and cautious use of feature flags.
