Reading Deming from 1978 “a defective part in an automobile is chargeable to management, not to sloppy workmanship. The fault is in the design, not workmanship. Design is the function of management, not of the production worker.” Interpreting this in era of agentic AI:

Your coding agent => production worker You => management I don’t blame our agents for the terrible defect rates in our software lately but the engineers and culture in our organization that completely tossed design out of the window.
