AI can write the code. Your team still owns the debt.

Even as AI coding tools accelerate initial delivery, they're also accelerating the accumulation of technical debt — and continuous, multilayer verification is what determines whether AI coding delivers leverage or just a larger maintenance bill. The piece argues verification is t

The argument complements the GitLab governance report (entry #6): if AI can ship code faster than humans can review it, then the verification layer — not the generation layer — is what defines whether a team is winning or just creating tomorrow's incident. The piece cites teams that have turned their CI pipeline into a multi-stage verification gauntlet (lint, type, test, fuzz, formal, runtime) precisely because they no longer trust the human review of AI output to catch everything.
