Our readingWhat is a korrent?

Ship for three to six months with nobody reading the code and the codebase gets so bad that starting over is easier than fixing it — we ran a lights-off software factory and shut it down.

    We tried this. We built a lights off software factory in July of 2025 and by November we had shut it down. I think it takes about three to six months of you shipping all the time with nobody reading the code before you realize like, wow, this is getting way worse and it's easier to start over than it is to fix it.
