Slight adjustment, but I'd see "maintaining code" is the same as before, matters more the people and their experience and knowledge how to manage that. But agree that the literal typing was never the difficult part, knowing what code should and shouldn't be written was a hard part, and still remains a hard part.

Right now, "what code shouldn't be written" seems to have become an even more important part, as it's so easy to spit out huge amounts of code, but that's the lazy and easy way, not the one that let you slowly add in features across a decade, rather than getting stuck with a ball of spaghetti after a weekend of "agent go brrr".

unless you understand every inch of system and foresee what issues can be created by what kind of change, things will break when using AI
