You have probably seen the demo by now. Someone types a prompt, an AI agent writes a working feature in minutes, and the room goes quiet in a good way. It feels like the whole cost of building software just dropped to zero.
Then six months pass.
The person who ran that demo has moved teams. The feature is now tangled into three other systems. A customer reports a bug, a developer opens the file, and nobody in the room can explain why the code was written the way it was. The AI that generated it is long gone from the conversation. What is left is a codebase that works until it doesn’t and has no clear owner when it breaks.
