AI in Production: Stability and Unintended Consequences
When Claude changed, everything changed: Managing AI blast radius in production

Our system did one thing, and it did it well: It turned natural-language questions into API calls. The users were analysts, account managers, and operations leads. They knew what data they needed, but assembling it manually meant pulling from multiple sources. A change in Claude's behavior showed how tightly coupled AI systems can become with production workflows — and why blast radius management is critical.

Agentic AI is now a core part of the engineering process, driving massive execution leverage and helping teams generate more code than ever before. Yet, business leaders are asking: if we’re shipping code faster, why are other parts of the software lifecycle — like testing, security, and maintenance — becoming proportionally more painful? The piece argues that AI has solved coding only to reveal deeper systemic issues in software engineering.
