I see people with no coding experience now generating PRs to a couple of repos I manage.

They ask a business question to the AI and it generates a bunch of code.

But honestly, coding isn't the part that slowed me down. Mapping the business requirements to code that doesn't fail is the hard part.

And the generated PRs are just answers to the narrow business questions. Now I need to spend time in walking it all back, and try to figure out what the actual business question is, and the overall impact. From experience I get very little answer to those questions.

And this is where Software Engineering experience becomes important. It's asking the right questions. Not just writing code.

Next to that I'm seeing developers drinking the cool-aid and submitting PRs where a whole bunch of changes are made, but they don't know why. Well, those changes DO have impact. Keeping it because the AI suggested it isn't the right answer. Keeping it because you agree with the AI's reasoning isn't the right answer either.
