A product is what people (or now agents) can use to carry out any activity.

There is a lot of hand wringing in the software space about ai code being a mess - but from a product perspective code quality doesn’t matter. It’s the reliability of what people (or agents) use that matters.

Code quality used to further that goal but only because it was really hard to rewrite or fix code. If that barrier is removed does anyone really care what the code quality under the hood is?
