Harper Reed publishes a blog post (written by o1-pro from a conversation transcript via Granola) exploring how AI code-generation tools are changing software development workflows. It introduces the 'Waterfall in 15 Minutes' concept—entire codebases generated rapidly—and argues for hyper-defensive coding with static analysis, formal verification, and rigorous CI/CD to catch AI agent mistakes.

Names the post-Agile shift as 'waterfall in 15 minutes' and argues for hyper-defensive coding pipelines as the necessary counterweight when agents produce code fast.
