I'm going to shill my own writing here [1] but I think it addresses this post in a different way. Because we can now write code so much faster and quicker, everything downstream from that is just not ready for it. Right now we might have to slow down, but medium and long term we need to figure out how to build systems in a way that it can keep up with this increased influx of code.

I don't think it's the habits that need to change, it's everything. From how accountability works, to how code needs to be structured, to how languages should work. If we want to keep shipping at this speed, no stone can be left unturned.
