FIVE MONTHS TREATING BUGS LIKE PATIENTS AND CODING AGENTS LIKE A MEDICAL TEAM

Summary from the TLDR Dev newsletter

Cockroach Labs structures coding agents around a teaching hospital, with reviewed plans, separate implementation and review roles, structured handoffs, and an audit before merge. The pipeline landed over a million lines of code in five months with seven reverts, and human approval became mandatory after the first autonomous week before the team used it to build customer-facing migration tooling.
