I use agentic flows writing code that deals with millions of pieces of financial data every day.

I rolled out a PR that was a one shot change to our fundamental storage layer on our hot path yesterday. This was part of a large codebase and that file has existed for four years. It hadn’t been touched in 2. I literally didn’t touch a text editor on that change.

I have first hand experience watching devs do this with payment processing code that handles over a billion dollars on a given day.

Thanks, it's quite helpful to hear examples like that.

When you say you didn't touch a text editor, do you mean you didn't review the code change or did you just look at the diff in the terminal/git?

I reviewed that PR in the GitHub web gui and in our CI/CD gui. It was one of several PRs that I was reviewing at the time, some by agents, some by people and some by a mix.

Because I was the instigator of that change a second code owner was required to approve the PR as well. That PR didn't require any changes, which is uncommon but not particularly rare.

It is _common_ for me to only give feedback to the agents via the GitHub gui the same way I do humans. Occasionally I have to pull the PR down locally and use the full powers of my dev environment to review but I don't think that is any more common than with people. If anything its less common because of the tasks the agents get typically they either do well or I kill the PR without much review.
