Agreed. The complexity brought by AI-assisted development is making this worse. This brings a shift in responsibility to the individual, as it did in previous technology shifts; a farmer driving a combine has a different set of problems than one standing behind a donkey with a plow. A developer who has placed themselves firmly in their comfort zone needs to increase their knowledge of the ecosystem around them and perhaps look further than the next component connected to their own.
