alt Hacker NewsNothing, the people worrying about AI tech debt on HN have been worrying about it for years. 2024 HN threads had the same comments.
The reality is that models just keep getting better and are very good at cleaning up the debt they created. The "tech debt" bill never came due. It won't.

I’m not worried about tech debt, that’ll be my career making money from the laziness of vibe devs.

Companies paying $200k a day for coding models to churn on what the coding models are messing up is one thing.
I’m not even worrying about tech debt, I’m talking full on defects, production incidents, security holes, and reputational damage.
