This was true when adding features cost a lot of time and mental effort.
replyNowadays, it's just a prompt away. LLM's can still run around in circles when the code quality is bad enough, but LLM's are also getting exceedingly better at catching that and writing code that's good.
We're all in a different phase of the collective grieving process, some are still in denial, I would put you in the bargaining phase judging from the comment.
Simply adding features doesn't make the product or technology exceptional. I think the industry know in the phase like "ok, i can close my one thousand github tickets in a week". But that won't make their product or technology significantly better. Creating an extraordinary product is an extra ordinary task that only humans are capable of for now.
