Orosz says LLM-driven development strains build systems, CI and code review
Overview
Gergely Orosz says he predicted in July 2025 that LLM-driven development would strain build systems, CI, source control and code review, and that this strain is now appearing widely.
He points to a Pragmatic Engineer newsletter piece on software engineering with LLMs from 2025 as the earlier statement of the prediction.
The claim is Orosz's own, posted on X on October 15, 2026. The report gives no data, examples or named companies showing how widespread the strain is.
