I think people are continuing to undervalue craftsmanship as well, like they have for the entire history of software engineering.

Also to repeat another critic: No one has had to maintain this stuff yet, or seen what the drawbacks of your engineers not really understanding the codebase are. The knowledge-rot may prove organizationally fatal.

I didn't say the change would be good! I do think it's a tool that will empower good engineers to be even better, and conversely people who weren't careful before are going to become that much more dangerous going forward, for exactly the reasons you just said
