I agree, that's fair. I think a lot of people are playing around with AI on side projects and making some bad extrapolations from their initial experiences.

It'll also apply to isolated-enough features, which is still a small amount of someone's work (not often something you'd work on for a full month straight), but more people will have experience with this.

greenfield development is also the “easiest” and most fun part of software development. As the famous saying goes, the last 10% of the project takes 90% of the time lol.

I’ve also noticed that, generally, nobody likes maintaining old systems.

so where does this leave us as software engineers? Should I be excited that it’s easy to spin up a bunch of code that I don’t deeply understand at the beginning of my project, while removing the fun parts of the project?

I’m still grappling with what this means for our industry in 5-10 years…
