Buggy code is better than inconsistent code

Yes, really.

Buggy code explodes 💥
You fix it.
You move on.

Inconsistent code?
Looks fine on the surface.
But drains you every day 😵‍💫

Two very different enemies:

Buggy code
- Loud
- Obvious
- Fixable

Inconsistent code
- Silent
- Infectious
- Compounding

Buggy code causes incidents.

Inconsistent code kills velocity
- PRs get heavier
- Reviews slow down
- Onboarding drags
- Morale drops

Now add AI.

AI doesn’t question patterns.
It scales them.

It replicates:
- Inconsistencies in your code
- Inconsistencies from the internet code it was trained on

At ~10x speed.

Consistency isn’t polish anymore.
It’s leverage.

That’s exactly why we built Credos.

Shared standards.
Single source of truth.

For everyone in your team — including your AI agents 😀
