Temporary code can last three years #Shorts

Did you know that “temporary” code can turn into three years of debt?

Artificial intelligence reduces the cost of starting a project, but it does not automatically reduce the cost of understanding, operating and changing it.

A script generated to compare two files can tolerate some imperfection. A payment system or an application that handles sensitive data needs a higher standard.

The danger arises when a prototype works and, without anyone drawing a boundary, ends up in production. Then every change can become slower, more expensive and riskier, because the team no longer fully understands what it has inherited.

That is why it is not enough to ask whether the agent finished quickly. We need to ask what obligations that code takes on and what tests will demonstrate that it can meet them.
