In a way the author is right. AI apps will be like hersheys - uninspiring junk. Personally I don’t eat hersheys. If I need chocolate I have good Swiss or Belgian brands that are much better.

Coming back to software - I believe the author is correct. We will be able to standardize prompts that can create secure deployments and performant applications. We will have agents that can monitor these and deal with 95% of the issues that happen. The other 5% I have no clue. Most of what industry does today needs standarized architecture based on specs anyway. Human innovation via resume driven design generally overcomplicates things.
