I can see how this trend is going to go.

Manager: “Why isn’t feature X available?”

Person B: “key pieces are delayed due to the developer not understanding all of the LLM doesn’t and implementation.”

Manager: “does it work? What are the risks?”

Person B: “well yes it works for now but we’re accumulating tech debt due to a lack of understanding and potential flaws that haven’t been thought out yet”

Manager: “they want feature X, ship it, we can deal with it later, I don’t care if it’s not coherent as long as it works.”

How many decades at this point has these been a push for functionality over everything at all costs? And you have a mechanical snow plow now. Most businesses don’t care about later risk or any future planning beyond the quarter horizon, they’re not concerned about how it will effect their performance in 3 quarters or lead to instability or issues, those are future problems for a future person and we’re here for money now.
