## AI overview

The article explains how Incident.io accelerated developer feedback cycles for both engineers and AI coding agents. It describes heavy use of Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex, and reports that switching from ESLint and Prettier to Biome reduced linting and formatting time from 40 seconds to less than one second.

## Source excerpt

When AI can scaffold out entire features in seconds and you have multiple agents all working in parallel on different tasks, a ninety-second feedback loop kills your flow state completely. We've recently invested in dramatically speeding up our developer feedback cycles, cutting some by 95% to address this. In this post we'll share what that journey looked like, why we did it and what it taught us about building for the AI era.
