Key Info
The author argues that after overcoming AI-generated "slop," teams now face a new issue: people (and agents) accidentally undo functionality because it's unclear what behavior was intentional.
Highlights
- Everyone working more closely with AI leads to quick fixes that bypass discussion, increasing regression risk
- Tests don't capture that solutions 1-4 were deliberately discarded in favor of 5, so an agent may revert to a "simpler" discarded approach
- Adding documentation doesn't reliably solve the problem since docs also drift over time
