Explain property injection risks at scale.

Updated Apr 28, 2026

Short answer

At an enterprise scale, property injection leads to fragile codebases due to Temporal Coupling.

In a large team, developers will invariably instantiate the class without setting the property, causing NullReferenceExceptions deeply buried in production execution paths.
