When anyone can build, the new constraint is building safely

In the evolving landscape of software development, the constraint has transitioned from the development itself to the infrastructure and governance required to support rapid advancements, especially with AI-assisted tools making custom software development more accessible. Historically, companies like Google had the resources and governance frameworks necessary to manage large-scale software building, but most organizations now face challenges as they lack the infrastructure to safely scale software development. The old model of human code review and accountability is no longer sufficient given the surge in code generation by non-engineers. Therefore, governance should be embedded at the platform level, with inherent security and accountability measures, to manage the risks associated with increased code production. Organizations that prioritize platform-level governance from the outset are better positioned to harness the potential of this new era effectively, ensuring innovation without compromising security or oversight.
