Code Verification Eats Generation
Projection: As generated code becomes abundant, scarce attention and budget will move toward review, testing, security, provenance, and production fitness. Developer-tool funding and verification demand support the direction, not the spending crossover. Verification and review revenue growing faster than raw generation revenue would settle the question.
Why this idea is here
What the evidence establishes.
Source-backed premise: the cited captures establish developer-tool funding and code-verification demand. Editorial projection: Abundant generated code shifts bottlenecks toward review, tests, security, provenance, and production fitness. The sources do not prove that outcome; the observable adoption test is whether verification and review spend grows faster than raw code-generation spend.
