It’s just not analogous to architecture, or cooking, or engineering. Software development is just its own thing. So you can’t use analogy to get yourself anywhere with a hint of rigour.

The problem is, AI is generating code that may be buggy, insecure, and unmaintainable. We have as a community spent decades trying to avoid producing that kind of code. And now we are being told that productivity gains mean we should abandon those goals and accept poor quality, as evidenced by MoltBook’s security problems.

It’s a weird cognitive dissonance and it’s still not clear how this gets resolved.
