Those design principles it will take us 20 years to learn are just the principles for writing good maintainable, debug-able, understandable code today. Will just take 20 years to figure out they still apply when AI writes the code, too.

Why would it take 20 years to learn? People all around me, in an AI pilled company, have been saying this the whole time,

[digitaltrees]

No. You can use AI to code this way. I’ve successfully steered AI to implement good architecture by moving slowly and constantly course correcting

[jimbokun]

Yes but most people won’t.

Many teams did this before AI too. They start faster and end up with hard to refactor or extend code. For example, think of teams that don’t version their API /api/v1, that blocks a whole category of refactoring and extensions. Or teams that have random state transformation routes instead of following restful actions.
