<h2> Chapter 5 · One thing got cheap, and six safeguards fell with it </h2> <p>Nobody Removed Six Controls: AI Made Writing Code Cheap, Not Safe<br> One thing got cheaper. Six safeguards quietly went with it.<br> AI coding agents can generate code, write tests, refactor modules, and implement features faster than ever. But there’s a catch: when writing code becomes cheap, the surrounding engineering practices can start to look unnecessarily expensive.<br> Code reviews feel like bottlenecks. Design discussions feel slow. Small changes get merged with less scrutiny. Developers begin trusting gen
