Thank you.

In response I suggest that the engineers using AI also lack code judgement (because they are not reading it either). I don't think questioning the AI use is the actual topic here, it is the shifting roles. Who says it's the designers that are taking the new meta-role? It's probably the FE's honestly.

The role shifting doesn't mean that it's the best path forward. I'm simply stating that it is happening.

It's very easy to know when code is wrong: it doesn't work the way it's expected to. So you explain to the AI what's wrong and the AI fixes it.

This isn’t meant to be sarcastic: have you ever worked for a real company?

Your designers are going to be looking at the layout; they're not going to notice if it's slow, uses too much memory, is not maintainable, doesn't follow repo patterns, etc.

Do you think it is reasonable to expect a person with an arts degree to know this?

Of course it is.

The only people who think your fucking college degree determines your knowledge level and ability are teenagers and people who are so deeply untalented that it’s the only way they feel qualified.

As we know from THERAC-25, etc., comprehensively verifying that code works the way it's expected to is not actually very easy - it's perhaps one of the hardest parts of building any system more complex than a toaster.

Thankfully the CRUD app that is being developed by some random startup is not likely to cause as much harm as the THERAC.
