Sure - software development is complex, but there seems to be a general attempt over time to improve the process and develop languages, frameworks and practices that remove the sources of human error.

Use of AI seems to be a regression in this regard, at least as currently used - "look ma, no hands! I've just vibe coded an autopiliot". The current focus seems to be on productivity - how many more lines of code or vibe-coded projects can you churn out - maybe because AI is still basically a novelty that people are still learning how to use.

If AI is to be used productively towards achieving business goals then the focus is going to need to mature and change to things like quality, safety, etc.
