+ Humans are bad at boring repetitive tasks. There are no tasks more boring
+ and repetitive than running a set of tests and waiting for them to finish.
+
+
+
+ Computers are excellent at boring and repetitive tasks, but are terrible
+ at making judgement calls. A computer can easily run tests over and over
+ again and consistently report success or failure.
+
+
+
+ Gating empowers humans to focus on creativity and judgement by completely
+ removing their ability to do boring tasks like merging code if and only if
+ if works.
+
+
+
+ In a gating system:
+
+
+
+
Humans never merge changes, only computers
+
Computers automatically merge changes when all tests pass
+
Human code review approval can safely be fire and forget
