Why AI Velocity Is Becoming a Debt Accelerator
Summary
AI velocity can accelerate software delivery but may create technical debt if governance and testing practices lag. The article references a Thoughtworks retreat and notes that AI-driven workflows strain traditional approaches, proposing patterns like supervisory engineering and risk tiering, with TDD framed as essential for prompt engineering. It also discusses shifts in skills, token cost considerations, platform thinking, and security as critical factors for safe AI deployment.
