# Cheap code moves the engineering bottleneck to review

## Observation

An agent-heavy development model treats implementation as abundant while specifications, validation, security, and integration remain scarce.

## Why it matters

Engineering organizations have to redesign queues, ownership, and quality controls when code production no longer sets the pace of delivery.

## Provenance

Normalized from QWG AI Telegram message 2672. The original Russian-language record remains available at https://t.me/qwgai/2672.
