Software breaks where intent becomes instructions
- Product intent arrives as chat messages, meeting notes and loose tickets.
- AI agents now write much of the code and follow what they are told, literally.
- Reviewing that output is slow, and developers trust it less: Stack Overflow's 2025 survey headline was "trust in AI at an all-time low" while use kept rising.
- Intent
- Instructions
- Code
