Agent Hours Are the New Cloud Bill
Agentic coding shifts AI cost from code completion to unconstrained work loops, repo search, tool calls, retries, and context discovery. The solution is bounded generation surfaces.
Writing on AI, software, and the half of the work that was always hard.
Agentic coding shifts AI cost from code completion to unconstrained work loops, repo search, tool calls, retries, and context discovery. The solution is bounded generation surfaces.
A recent SIG report shows AI is accelerating architectural technical debt by prioritizing code generation speed over clear domain understanding and system design.
AI can generate code, but engineering begins where requirements conflict, ambiguity remains, and someone must decide what is true.
