At Photon, we only hire 10x engineers. We shipped a full SDK in a week, then built the infrastructure to support it in a month. That kind of work usually takes big companies a year. But as we moved faster, one thing started slowing us down: the CI/CD pipeline—releases, versioning, testing, and binary builds. In 2026, we're writing software at a speed we never imagined possible, but our CI/CD is still stuck in 2015.
