It all depends on the product timeline. Many have come to realize that products that want to survive long term cannot do without architects that ensure codebases don't diverge. A UI/UX genius with no understanding of code will not be able to create something like Zapstore, for example, no matter how much they spend on agents. Recommended read:

Cert is expired on that link, but yes, I completely agree. The hype on LLMs is making me start to feel insane. Yes, I ship slower, but I hope to massively outlast competitors whose designs are incoherent and which no one understands.
Not to forget we're making the *exact* same mistake with LLMs that we did with mainstream social media. If the LLM can make it, the LLM can break it. Finding it absurd that #FreedomTech and 'vibe coding with zionist-owned Claude' are being used in the same sentence. You're handing them the backend, then you'll claim there was an "exploit" and you have no idea how they reverse-engineered your code? Oh, the irony! 🫠 #TheMoreYouKnow the more you're supposed to obfuscate and hand-write that code so no one can break it but you! 💯 #PrivacyRefuge #Palantir #GlobalSurveillance #ZionistCancer #DeathToImperialism View quoted note →
