So many people get buried in tech debt due to constantly choosing "let's be productive now and iterate later". Then later never comes.

This was already proof that, when a company is given the chance of getting a reward now and putting in the effort later, they will take the reward and postpone the effort indefinitely.

AI now offers "generate now, review later". Fill in the pattern.

We're cooked and it's not due to AI, it's due to the fundamentals of an economy and society that only sees the short term.
