Speculative fiction imagining "Software Mechanics" — domain experts who fix AI-generated code's specification gaps. The central insight: ~60% of regenerated-software failures happen because external data sources change under a static spec, not because the AI wrote bad code. The mechanic's paradox: prevention is always cheaper, but humans reliably pay for crises instead. Near Zero Software
