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:

|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Humans never merge changes, only computers</li>
|
|
<li>Computers automatically merge changes when all tests pass</li>
|
|
<li>Human code review approval can safely be fire and forget</li>
|
|
</ul>
