This is mostly how I think about what AI is doing to the software industry. Things are changing, but writing code is just one piece of the puzzle. The harder piece remains.. and I think it's been made even harder. Everyone knows how hard it is to review code.. now you're churning out 1000s of lines a day? Shit, that's a bad idea all round...
I'm seeing a lot of takes like this - I'm finding the opposite. AI takes care of a lot of the boring parts. The boiler-plate, the connections. But it leaves me to think about how things should be implemented and capture higher level problems earlier.
Instead of leaving the AI to figure out the right way to query something from the db, I can flag a potential n+1 issue from the very start.
I think I need to revisit this topic and share my approach in more detail...
