We know it's 2026.

Software gets written faster than ever. Quality, usability and cost still decide whether it works. That's what we care about.

1. I

   Code is cheap now.

   Agents write most of it. Deciding what to build, and what not to change, is the expensive part.

2. II

   Fast isn't the same as good.

   Teams ship more with AI and break more in production. Speed without review is faster debt.

3. III

   Usability is quality.

   If people can't use it, it doesn't work, however clean the code is.

4. IV

   Cost is a design decision.

   Cloud and observability bills grow faster than revenue. Architecture sets them long before finance notices.

5. V

   Production is the test.

   What counts is how it behaves under real traffic, not how it looked in the demo.
