An idea that I saw first being [["Writing code is cheap now" by Simon Willison|articulated]] by [[Simon Willison]], is that the economics of software engineering were dictated by the fact that there was an investment being done when coding: larger code was harder to develop, features were prioritized by complexity, and ideas like [[Technical Debt|technical debt]] and low-hanging fruit are based on that idea. Thanks to [[Agentic Coding|agentic programming]], that seems to not be the case anymore: rolling a PoC is not only cheap but fast, which makes it ideal for exploration. I am honestly still not sure of the long-term effects of this, so I would be very cautious in production code. While [[AI]] assistance is, I think, more than reasonable these days, I would not be comfortable including vibe-coded slop or overly-complex code in production. All code in prod must be reviewed (and owned) by a human.
