The biggest risk in software development is building the wrong thing. Digging yourself into a hole 10% faster is _worse_. You now have more backtracking to do!

Agreed, but if that came at a cost of 1 trillion dollars of debt and investments, it might be a disappointment again.

Note that I am bullish on AI coding in general, just trying to contextualize your statement.
