LLM-based code generation requires disciplined operation to lead to the best outcomes. Shops who only ever had taste as a proxy for discipline were missing this before, and they're missing it now. The fact that it's missing is why so many organizations are tolerating ever-growing mountains of slop. (Not new, by the way; just dramatically accelerated.) Discipline can be linked to system design standards and your review process, and it can be translated to measurable outcomes at scale and over time, regardless of how agents are involved: unplanned work, time to recovery, employee retention, etc. When outcomes like these become your priority, you see that you can't rely on taste alone.
