Agentic Technical Debt: AI Coding Speed Comes at a Cost
AI agents write code fast but accumulate architectural debt faster than humans can review. A new consensus shows autonomous agents break dependency boundaries and couple independent modules. Teams need deterministic constraints and multi-pass verification, not just prompts, to prevent drift in regulated codebases.

The piece rightly shifts focus from generation speed to governance, but the proposed fixes—context interrogation and separate verifier agents—are still nascent and unproven at scale.
