I think in most cases the speed at which AI can produce code outweighs technical debt, etc.

But the thing with debt is that it has to be paid eventually.

project also have to be paid off financially. We have been there before - startup used to go fast and break things so that once MVP is validated they slow down and fix things or even rewrite to new tech/architecture. No you can validate idea even faster with AI. And probably there is a lot of code that you write for one time or throw away internal tools etc.

not if you get acquired

Is your argument that it's now someone else's problem? That it must be paid, just by someone else? Thanks, I hate it.

You will probably be able to just keep throwing AI at it in the coming years, as memory systems improve, if not already.
