If had to answer this question 2 years ago, I wouldn't have said software was a "don't see it's bad until later" category, with compilers and it needing to actually do something very specific. However, business slides are full of exacting facts and definitely never contains generic business speak masquerading as real insight /s.
This feels like telling a story after the fact to make it fit.
I agree, and by all accounts the success of coding agents is due to code being amenable to very fast feedback (tests, screenshots) so you can immediately detect bad code.
That's in terms of functionality, not necessarily quality though. But linters can provide some quick feedback on that in limited ways.
