> This is domain expertise - software engineers are not needed for that.

I want to work with the business domain experts you work with. The ones I’ve worked with are experts in their domain, not modeling that domain in software.

Left to their own devices with Claude Code, they produce some great POCs. Then those POCs buckle under their own weight they pile on contradicting requirements and have opus spinning to fix bugs.

Maybe the models will get good enough to solve for this, but they’re not there yet.

As in my reply to the sibling comment, I am not disputing that engineer expertise remains important; I'm saying the nature of it is now different and will continue to rapidly change in its place in the business stack.
