| A suitably detailed feature ticket isn't much more than a prompt. The ticket would need to get down to a code level in specification of what needed to be done.

This is the part I think folks underestimate when saying that "Coding as a career might be over". Gen AI can write decent code, but constructing software from code, and coming up with implementation ideas and turning those into tickets still feels far away at least from my experience using ChatGPT and CoPilot. Also those systems were trained on code but I don't know that they have the best idea of quality of the code they were trained on.
