This article makes a fundamental mistake where the author thinks that business values quality. Business has never valued quality. Customers can value quality, but business only values profit margins. If customers will only buy quality, then that's what business will deliver. But customers don't value quality either, most of the time. They value bang-for-buck. They'll buy the cheapest tools on Amazon and happily vibe code their way into a hole, then throw the broke code out and vibe code some more.
The only people that value quality are engineers. Any predictions of the future by engineers that rely on other people suddenly valuing quality can safely be ignored.
