Assuming we don't speak about some vibed "one-shot-deploy" situation (for which there were options in the old world as well, with the same bad results), in a well disciplined team, why would AI make this worse? You can still write anything by doing it either small steps, or at once followed by a lot of refactors while skimming over code and asking tons of questions / making refinements via prompts, guidelines, test guardrails. A team can still reason and whitepaper about the same things. Devs who were previously shy to ask some specific details (to not seem dumb) can now confidently survey big codebases and get insights in whatever style they can swallow. The bigger problem I see is that all this requires a lot of communication, and most importantly writing skills, something that disappears in thin air in the last decades. | ||
