Yes, I think where we ought to point the microscope is important - that's the judgement. Let devs focus the microscope on the essential stuff, the business-existential stuff, and let the tools remove the burden of having to deal with anything that's not fundamental to the solution of the problem. The tools, now, are just not structured to make this problem easy. There's a lot of mixing of what's essential and accidental that becomes unmanageable quickly - spaghetti novo. It will be an interesting journey. It'll take humans and machines (directed by humans) to line up on an agreement on where the microscope should aim.
