Architecture Drift at AI Speed: When Your Agents Don''t Respect Boundaries

AI coding agents can quickly erode your architecture's integrity when generating code at speed, creating a compounding problem of technical debt. Boundaries need explicit enforcement to prevent parallel agents from turning velocity into chaos.

The Single-Agent Ceiling: Why One AI Can''t Hold Your Whole Delivery Lifecycle

Single-agent AI promises end-to-end code generation, but most teams hit a productivity ceiling within months. Relying on one AI to handle your entire delivery lifecycle creates code that degrades the system and increases downstream costs.

Code Without Requirements Is Just Expensive Guessing

AI made code cheap. It did not make rework cheap. Requirements are the constraints that keep agents pointed at the right problem, and the teams that write them down before the first prompt are the ones that avoid the 60-day velocity wall.
