The blog post titled "Code is Debt," dated August 28, 2025, addresses the common question: "What do you think of AI coding tools?" The author uses an example of two similar companies with equal revenue and products to illustrate the point. Company A has 1 million lines of code, while Company B has only 100 thousand. The implication is that Company B, with less code, is better off because less code is easier to understand and modify. The post emphasizes that code can be viewed as a form of debt—using AI-generated code essentially incurs "code debt." This "debt" is not inherently bad or good; like financial debt, it can have interest or be interest-free. Responsible use of AI tools to incur code debt can allow faster growth, but reckless use can cause a project to fail catastrophically. Therefore, while access to AI-assisted coding tools is essential, developers must manage the resulting code debt wisely. The post thanks Ani Talakhadze for reviewing drafts.
