If velocity was the most important criteria, well, we could always write tech-debt faster, we just chose not to.

Unless the LLM/agent is carefully curated, it will produce tech-debt faster than it can fix it.

For some products, it seems not a problem - you just want to validate PMF on a product (of course you'll have a new problem now, which is that everyone with $20 to spare can do the same).

For others, a longer-life product is preferable. We shall have to see how things shake out. My best guess would be that we have more useless stuff that is free or close to free, and fewer useful stuff that is free or close to free.
