AI Moved the Bottleneck — and this time it landed in product
We ran out of stories. Our AI pipeline moved faster than product could spec new work. The bottleneck didn't disappear when we shifted left — it migrated.
Quality, Baked In
AI is redefining
software engineering.
AI can write the code. Knowing whether it actually works is the hard part. I'm Sven Thirion — I write about agents, automation, and quality that's built in, not bolted on.
What I Write About
Four things I keep coming back to: AI-Native Engineering, Quality Engineering, Engineering Organizations, and Practical AI Engineering.
AI Agents & Orchestration
Multi-agent systems, tool use, and autonomous pipelines
AI for Quality Engineering
Using AI to accelerate test strategy and quality thinking
Test Automation
Modern automation architecture, CI/CD, and eliminating flakiness
Tooling & Workflows
Developer tooling, agent frameworks, and workflow design
Engineering Culture
Building teams that care about quality without making it a bottleneck
