In their words

The transcript segments this claim was taken from

“I, I think a lot about, like, CI as, like, another, like, illustrative example.”
“Like, for most of the, the history of CI, uh, you know, talk about GitHub actions and things like that, like, you had a very sequential flow.”
“Like you, you, you know, you slowly b- install a bunch of stuff, then you run the test suite, and then, you know, generate some reports or whatever.”
“And it's like you can break it up into shards, but it's kind of annoying. Like, what I would love to do is, like, take your entire test suite and just run every single test in its own sandbox, right?”
“Like, and just paralyze the shit out of that. Run, like, a thousand sandboxes. Why can't that be done?”
