Than it's the deadlines that need to change. I'll happily die on that hill.
Quality over Quantity will always win the race in the long run. Ever tightening deadlines is responsible for the enshittification of everything.
Good luck convincing clients
And that's precisely the over-arching problem in the modern world.
On one hand I agree, on the other hand try making that argument to management at the majority of software firms and see where it gets you. There's little commercial incentive for 'artisinal code' outside of niche sectors in my view, and commercial incentives overrule all else at the end of the day. I don't think this is morally right but this is the wider problem of which overreliance on AI is merely one expression I think
Oh absolutely. Corporations shoving AI down our throats is a symptom of a much wider problem for sure. It's just the latest tool in the age old mantra that states that "In order to increase profit, you can either make more or spend less."
Somewhere in around the 80's, corporations realized that labour was their largest expense, and from that point on, employees became just another line item on a spreadsheet. Something to be managed and minimized as much as possible. They try to squeeze that labour metric down as much as possible to achieve more profit without having to increase revenue at the same time, thereby making the stock price rise.
Humans stopped being an equation in business a long long time ago.
