Rebuilding CLIs for agents, it’s time to get MCP-certified, and why human code review will never catch up

This week on the Friday Deploy, Ben and Andrew explore Codex's obsession with the isRecord type guard and break down the Linux Foundation's new MCP certification. They also discuss the fundamental mechanics of agentic loops and CircleCI's new agent-first CLI redesign. Finally, they dive into longitudinal research proving that AI creates a massive pull request bottleneck, highlighting why automated code review is the only sustainable path forward.
