From the second video: "We can focus on the things that excite us rather than just the maintenancing [maintenance] work".

But these are the kinds of problems that help shape the product. The software archictecture should be a compression of a deep and intuitive understanding of the problem space. How can you develop that knowledge if you're just delegating it to a black box that can't operate at a near-human level?

I've used ai based tools to great success, but on an ad-hoc basis, for specific and small functions or modules. To do the integration part requires an understanding of what abstraction is appropriate where. I don't think these tools are good that.




Good software can be art. And like all art, we have hit the stage in which code can also be cranked out en masse, thoughtlessly, for a quick buck. It was only inevitable.
