"Generative AI makes it easier and cheaper than ever for companies to build their own software—but turning a promising vibe-coded prototype into a reliable, scalable solution can introduce costs and complexity that teams didn’t anticipate. Companies can close this “deployment gap” by involving technical experts from early stages of the project, even if they’re not the ones doing the building; limiting the tools’ connections to other systems; and resisting the temptation to expand successful tools to more users and use cases." - HBR

People a lot smarter and more knowledgeable than me are concerned about the existential threat of AI. In the near term, I am concerned about our financial institutions rolling out autonomous AI too quickly. AI makes mistakes and mistakes with my money are not good --or even worse than not good if mistakes are made with a lot of people's money all at once. 😟

You are not a Software Engineer. You are an architect (design), construction worker (build), electrician (flows & integrations), mechanic (diagnostics and troubleshooting) and housekeeper (maintenance). While software development is a white-collar office job, in order to do it well you have to get your hands dirty and engage with the work.
