@pavelasamsonov@mastodon.social#AI coding tools have shown that you can't iterate from bad software to good software.
Not that it is *physically* impossible, but that the context of the work prevents it. Instead of refining products with more feedback loops, management demands more new feature releases.
But no amount of "MVPs" add up to a mature product. No amount of bad code adds up to good code.
