“too many PRs to merge. This is the like classic first problem you hit when you start adopting AI as an engineer. … and this is obviously magnified when the whole team does this. Merge conflicts, merge queue breaks down, things get bad.”

Dailey calls the team-level effect of sudden AI speed “velocity sickness”: more PRs than anyone can merge, people moving in different directions, and repeated work. His fix is to align on key decisions in shared docs before agents implement, which moves the review point earlier. Quoted from YouTube’s auto-generated captions.
