- Software development has changed drastically and quickly, leaving experienced engineers shell-shocked.
- Development is now faster but not necessarily better, focusing more on quantity over quality.
- Flow states have been replaced by 'thinking...' states, and code is often discarded without thought due to cheap experiments.
- Good developers can now do more, using saved time to review, polish, refactor, and add extra features.
- Technical debt can be addressed before it reaches the main codebase, improving overall code quality.
- The field has changed overnight, requiring adaptation to build faster and think at a higher level to avoid tunnel vision.
- A key question arises: if the end result is solid, thoroughly reviewed, and trusted code, does the creation process truly matter?
