Excellent post. People always defend agentic/LLM-driven development by saying, "Well it's good enough", or "It works most of the time."
That may be tolerable for some user-facing app. But what if we start normalizing failures in the libraries, the infrastructure, and the compilers? Everything descends into a mess of unreliability, and that slows EVERYTHING and EVERYONE down.
If it matters then people will have to start building their own libraries/vendoring etc. I don't see any change in the dilemma to the times before widely available well tested OSS. There is still no legal agreements between OSS and their users so I'm sure people running businesses on OSS we're prepared for this.
