#365: A bad engineer with a laptop is much worse than a bad engineer with a calculator. Now hand that engineer AI. DORA's ROI report puts it politely - AI without engineering excellence just scales your problems.

Except it's not more of everything. It's more of whatever you were already doing, and there's a statistical chance that what you're doing is bad. Your agent already read your flaky tests and decided that's the house style.

So what do you measure now? Viktor's answer: every technical metric you've got is gamed.
