No it isn't.

CI is "continuous integration". Where your team "continuously integrates" their code so everyone is working with as similar version of the code as possible.

Indeed. But I was speaking in the context of process and implementation versus the definition of the term.

Typically we’re asked to implement it, or how we’d implement it.

All with the idea of being able to integrate code more efficiently and effectively with the emphasis of β€œcontinuous”. Otherwise it would be more intermittent due to the β€œit works on my machine”.
