> Now, with LLMs making it easy to generate working code faster than ever, a new narrative has emerged: that writing code was the bottleneck, and we’ve finally cracked it.
This narrative is not new. Many times I've seen decisions were made on the basis "does it require writing any code or not". But I agree with the sentiment, the problem is not the code itself but the cost of ownership of this code: how it is tested, where it is deployed, how it is monitored, by whom it's maintained etc.
