Cheap Code, Costly Judgment: A Case Study on Governable Agentic Software Engineering

Generative AI is shifting software engineering from a practice organized around scarce implementation effort toward one organized around abundant, low-cost code production.

Generative AI is shifting software engineering from a practice organized around scarce implementation effort toward one organized around abundant, low-cost code production. This shift changes the central engineering problem: not whether AI can generate useful code, but how…
