Great article, I've been saying something similar (much less eloquently) at work for months and will reference this one next time it comes up.

Quite often I see inexperienced engineers trying to ship the dumbest stuff. Back before LLM these would be projects that would take them days or weeks to research, write, test, and somewhere along the way they could come to the realization "hold on, this is dumb or not worth doing". Now they just send 10k line PR before lunch and pat themselves on the back.
