A developer’s Hippocratic Oath: Prioritizing quality and security with the fast pace of AI-generated coding

Mitchell Johnson from Sonatype argues developers need a "Hippocratic Oath" to prioritize code quality and security, especially as AI accelerates code generation. While AI enables much faster coding, recent data shows a 25% increase in AI adoption actually decreased delivery throughput by 1.5% and stability by 7.2%. Johnson advocates for spec-driven development where teams collaborate to create AI-optimized specifications that embed security and testing requirements from the start.
