I just wrote an internal report in my company.

My conclusion from the project I'm working on is that, as of this day, there is no way to have both this so-called 20x performance improvement _and_ any kind of quality. Or security if whoever is running the agent has any token in an .env anywhere on the same file system.

We'll see in which direction the CTO takes this. My bet is not on quality.

Software Engineering may have very well entered its own Eternal September.

It is sad. This is a new reality. No one reads code, it is agents all the way down. It has been long enough now that I can safely say AI has not sped up project delivery nor improved quality when it did ship.

Is it the AI or the people using it? Idk

> Just stop caring about quality.

I'm not so sure this is true anymore. It may have been years ago but... can you honestly say "the Bun project was fully AI written, therefore the quality is poor"?

Any concrete examples/proof?
