Pitch Pine Software

A high-output engineering team no longer writes much code. The challenging part of the craft has become directing the firehose of productivity provided by fleets of agents in a way that's useful, instead of a way that soaks your codebase in crud and drowns you in technical debt.

How do you review hundreds of PRs in a day? How do you maintain quality without reviewing every PR?

Technologies change by the week. New models, harnesses, orchestration tools, and collaboration platforms appear and merge faster than any individual manager can stay abreast of the cutting edge. What works elsewhere? What might work here?

Pitch Pine Software provides a window into best practices across the industry, offering a menu of techniques being employed at the scrappiest startups and the biggest labs. Use what works for your team, discard what doesn't.

Success is an engineering team that can still plan quarters ahead and maintain its architectural lines, and can also take a new feature from request to production-ready in 90 minutes.

Failed gates loop back to the agents, not to a person; the only human touchpoints are the request, the spec and the approval. Preserving the attention of the human components of your team is the key to using AI as a force multiplier, instead of an army of junior engineers in need of infinite mentorship. Let them correct each other.
