Using the data we what have would already be a big gain. I think that's AI's biggest contribution. I've seen a lot of time and complexity go into improving functionality beat by someone who wrote code to track what actions were taken, and adjust based on frequency of use. The first option is needed if you have no data and cannot gather the data, the second is great because it can adjust itself over time.

This is where I see the SRE (site reliability engineers) role. The developers making changes are put into a position where they measure the cost impact of a decision.

It's these feedback loops, and the practices they instill, that I believe we need. New programmers can help break the mold, but without good feedback they'll fall into the same traps.
