I agree with you. But I have to say, it is an uphill battle and all the incentives are against you.

1. AI is meant to make us go faster, reviews are slow, the AI is smart, let it go.

2. There are plenty of AI maximizers who only think we should be writing design docs and letting the AI go to town on it.

Maybe, this might be a great time to start a company. Maximize the benefits of AI while you can without someone who has never written a line of code telling you that your job is going to disappear in 12 months.

All the incentives are against someone who wants to use AI in a reasonable way, right now.

I actually agree with good time to start a company. Lot of available software engineers that can actually understand code, AI at a level that can actually speed up development, and so many startups focusing on AI wrapper slop that you can actually make a useful product and separate yourself from the herd.

Or you can be a grifter and make some AI wrapper yourself and cash out with some VC investment. So good time for a new company either way.
