Reading up on Faros AI

AI reduces code-writing effort but shifts verification cost onto reviewers, creating an externality where comprehension debt rises despite faster generation.

AI coding agents alone can't sustain high-quality software factories because model limitations and review bottlenecks remain, requiring better context engineering rather than just more loops.

Addy Osmani argues that while AI agents now write 80% of code for early adopters, this shifts problems to "comprehension debt," where developers understand less of their own codebases.
