This presentation was recorded at GOTO Copenhagen 2025. Abby Bangser - Principal Engineer at Syntasso & Team Topologies Advocate Dave Farley - Bestselling Author, Founder & Director of Continuous Delivery Ltd. RESOURCES Abby Dave DESCRIPTION Dave Farley and Abby Bangser open with a clear statement: Continuous Delivery isn't a relic of the pre-AI era - it's the foundation that makes the AI era survivable. Dave's definition is simple but consequential: software should always be in a releasable state, verified after every small change. That's not just a workflow preference; it's the same incremental, hypothesis-driven approach that underpins science and engineering. In an AI-assisted world where code can be generated far faster than humans can reason about it, the discipline of small, safe, verifiable steps becomes more critical, not less. The danger isn't AI writing bad code - it's AI writing a lot of code very fast that nobody is properly checking. The conversation turns to a genuinely alarming DORA report statistic: 70% of developers using AI tools don't distrust the output.
