I feel like the fundamental bottleneck of software dev velocity will be human brains ability to understand the code being made. We can’t deploy code / packages / systems / apps we don’t deeply understand, no matter if those components were written in 3 weeks by a team of devs or in 3 seconds by GPT-7, we’re still responsible for it when it gets into users hands, and we’re not gonna deploy stuff that we don’t know how it works. Because at the end of the day it’s our necks on the line if something goes wrong and we’re asked to fix it. We can’t just point the finger at AI, which means we’ll always have to understand what we’re putting out there in the world, and that’s essentially what our jobs will be in the future. The one who’s accountable for the software systems put into production.
