The Person Who Fixed the Bugs Just Vanished
TL;DR: A QA team confronts chaos in an AI-generated product, only to have the entire AI-driven development squad abruptly laid off, leaving the platform functioning but without engineers. The story raises questions about AI-only workflows and sustainability in software projects.
The project was born from an AI-generated HTML demo, then run by a pure-AI coding unit with no traditional requirements or PM. A human PM was hired later to write requirements for a platform that already existed. QA followed retroactive requirements while the AI-driven team kept bugs in check and fixes fast, creating a closed loop. Suddenly, the entire AI-driven team was fired, leaving the platform running but with no engineers to maintain or understand it. The author reflects that having someone to fix bugs was a luxury they now miss.
Question for the room: Have you worked on an AI-driven project, and what happened when the human/engineering support was reduced or removed?
