In what world do these new tools help with "laying bricks", but not with ensuring that the structure does not collapse? How is that work any more difficult than producing the software in the first place? It wasn't that long ago that these tools could barely produce a simple program. If you're buying into the promises of this tech, then what's stopping it from also being able to handle those managerial tasks much better than a human?

The seemingly profound points of your marketing slop article ignore that these new tools are not a higher level of abstraction, but a replacement of all cognitive work. The tech is coming for your job just as it is coming for the job of the "bricklayer" you think is now worthless. The work you're enjoying now is just a temporary transition period, not an indication of the future of this industry.

If you enjoy managing a system that hallucinates solutions and disregards every other instruction, that's great. When you reach a dead end with that approach, and the software is exposing customer data, or failing in unpredictable ways, hopefully you know some good "bricklayers" that can help you with that.
