There's No Limit to How Bad Code Can Get

A business will sink long before code quality reaches a hypothetical floor. Technical debt has no bankruptcy, no clean reset, so metaphors that imply an end provide a false sense of security.

Humans Are Always the Bottleneck

Human-in-the-loop is still essential. Decisions must be made by a human, and I still review and merge pull requests myself. But I want the AI to drive the work and call me into the loop as few times as possible.

Your credibility is on the line.
