The teams adopting AI coding tools the fastest are the same teams that would never deploy to production without a pipeline.
I've been watching this for two years. Engineers who pushed back on manual deployments, built approval gates and rollback runbooks, spent months getting GitOps through architecture review. Those same engineers are committing AI-generated code with no review policy, no acceptable use boundary, no way to answer "what did this tool actually do to our codebase."
The governance instincts are there. They've just been turned off for AI.
DevOps gave me a set of instincts I didn't appreciate until I started watching AI adoption.
