I can tell you either not programmed or have not connected the dots. You won’t find a single CRUD app in existence that is the same. There are always and I mean always exceptions, edge cases, weird shit. It looks easy and similar on the outside and then you pop the hood.. if there even is a hood.

People like to pretend “CRUD” is this solved problem and I see it is, in theory, yet in practice CRUD hides a lot of bullshit that gets swept under the rug.

In a very interesting way the systems I worked on were always encodings of “centuries” of drama, psychology and politics. It just happens a lot faster on the software side.

I studied it for a few years and have some legalese speaking friends. That of course doesn’t make me an expert but I have some inkling of what’s going on.

I don’t see the problem to be honest. Edge cases don’t bother the clankers. You think “programming”, all of it across all domains, plus the business side of things (which is a source of insanity itself), the pointy haired bosses, the ridiculous processes, the “UIs”, the complexity of a full system from top to bottom is rule-based and orderly?

Myopically looking at dev work makes it seem like this abstract wonderland but it’s seething, bristling whirlpools of psychology, neurodivergence and misaligned stakeholders all the way down.

Your point on liability is fair. I guess we can appoint liability crumple zones but I suspect they won’t rake in 200-300 an hour. Besides liability can very much be given to a “chatbot”. I don’t see how any legal entity can’t take it on. I agree that society is not ready for it, not at all, but I fail to see the fundamental blockers.
