Original Post (Key Excerpt)
At Cognition we're seeing coding agents handling the entire SDLC, going way beyond just coding. Here are some tips and tricks we're seeing dev teams use with agents like @devinai to handle the SDLC: 1. Scheduling daily E2E smoke tests: an automation signs up for your app, goes through onboarding, exercises core flows, and gets a pass/fail report in Slack every morning. You can even watch the screen recording or have it sent directly to you via Slack. https://x.com/ryancarson/status/2041119517527425058?s=20 2.Why It Matches Ryva ICP
Engineering teams actively shipping and supporting production systems. Signals concrete demand for workflow-level automation tied to Slack, Sentry, Datadog, and PR flow.
Underlying Problem
Critical reliability work (triage, smoke tests, dependency hygiene) stays manual and fragmented, creating invisible toil and delayed response loops.

This is useful because it focuses on recurring execution loops, not demos. The highest leverage work is automating repeatable checks that teams already do manually: smoke tests, triage, dependency updates, and health digests. That removes coordination drag while making ownership and signal quality visible before standup.Suggested DM Idea (Copy)
Which recurring engineering loop still depends on manual pings today: triage, smoke tests, dependency updates, or release health checks?Snapshot
