Exactly this. I think we lost so much because we allowed people who dont know how to reduce brightness on their monitor to "own" anything in the software dev process. Now they are teaching us that engineering leads should "negotiate" with POs about technical improvements, and how we can best frame it. Excuse me, but what the f? What we call POs now, used to be Business Analysts - valuable contributors for sure, but not "owning" anything. And we made it a big point if an element is 2px farther to the right than the designer foresaw. Not to mention that the agilistas have managed to create cohorts of bootcamp-type-coders whose main concern now is a "well written ticket". Never thinking or heaven forbid, caring about the whole project. I am generally critical towards the enthusiastic usage of LLM tools, but I do think they will have a positive effect of a lot of people not belonging to tech, leaving it.
