I agree. AI clearly expanded the set of things that are worth building, especially small or previously unjustifiable work. What I was trying to say is that once those things become real systems, the old constraints show up again. You still have to understand boundaries, failure modes, and how to operate what got produced.

Yes, no denying this. Now in time this will change too. I'm slowly letting Claude do some target maintenance work in AWS in non-critical environments. Over time I will let it perform reversible operations in production but that time has not come yet. And it still too often takes silly approaches to problems that have more elegant solutions. These days it has a personally of an ambitious, restless junior who wants to always get stuff done but doesn't have the depth of thought to just handle it all by itself. But the times they are a changing.
