> This feels like a new kind of problem. It’s not the classic technical debt - no human consciously chose to re-create three different UIs, all almost the same. It’s something more specific to how agents write code.
I don't really see how it's any different than if humans decided to do it.

How is tech debt not self-reinforcing? "Well, the last guy just copy-pasted this code for a new purpose instead of accomodating the new case, so rather than consolidate the codebase, I will just do the same, since it is too far gone?
In general, I agree with the problem. But I think it's a change in speed, not direction.
