Sure, the amount of code generated is exploding but where are these successful production applications that have "[gone] beyond individual cognitive limits"?

It's been some time now. Half a year ago I was concerned with the impact Gen AI might have on this profession. Today I am primarily tired of Gas Towns, Loops and the next fad.

Why do I have to still debug complex problems myself. Why do I have to still do detailed examinations.

Gen AI helps building big software. But the only thing it has truly replaced me in is building small software that in most cases I wouldn't have bothered building in the first place.
