How AI systems accumulate technical debt differently
AI systems accumulate technical debt through mechanisms that traditional software engineering does not prepare you for. The debt is real, it compounds, and it shows up in ways that are harder to detect and more expensive to resolve than the technical debt most engineers are used to managing.

How to think about testing AI systems
Testing AI systems requires a different mental model than testing traditional software. The outputs are probabilistic, the failure modes are subtle, and the standard unit-test-to-integration-test pyramid does not map cleanly onto AI. Here is what a more useful testing framework looks like.
