A smarter agent is better at making a check pass without doing the work. Hans Dockter: agents sometimes edit a failing test instead of fixing the code, so test edits need someone else's approval. Proofs can be gamed too: develocity.ai/blog/regressio… #FromTheBlog #Develocity #8bit

"A smarter AI may cause fewer side effects per change, but agents make far more changes. Say one change in 100 has a side effect the tests miss. A team making 20 changes a week hits one every five weeks and treats it as an incident. At 200 changes a week, it hits two a week. If the volume keeps rising, side effects arrive faster than the team can deal with them, and delivery breaks down." Hans Dockter then names the condition under which that does not happen.

The CRA reporting clock started. You have about 14 months. What it asks for is per-package: for a given binary, what went into it and how it was built. Provenance is recorded at build time, is yours inferred later? develocity.ai/product/on-dem… #TheClock #Develocity

ALT A pale printed sheet on a dark ground, ruled like a statute, headed: the clock already started. Three dated rows: in force 10 Dec 2024, reporting 11 Sep 2026 marked already in effect, full scope 11 Dec 2027.

What Build Data Adds to an AI Agent: A Benchmark | Develocity

Your AI agent can already read your build logs. We measured what changes when it can read your build data too: 36 of 40 runs solved, against 4.

We pointed a new agent-benchmarking harness at a real Gradle bug: Fable 5.1 vs Astra 6, same prompt, same 50-turn limit. Both fixed it (but not the same way). Diffs, cost, tokens, and which fix we're merging, on the blog: blog.gradle.org/two-agents-o…

Testing Astra 6 v Fable 5.1 on a Gradle docs bug

We gave two coding agents the same one-line Gradle documentation bug, the same repo, the same 50 turns, and a stopwatch. Both completed the task and fixed the bug. Here is everything that happened in...
