> It’s just much more efficient and it makes problems easier to miss. Standard practices of AI assisted development are slowly forming and I expect them to improve over time

Bravo! IMHO, AI just underscores core high quality engineering practices that any high quality engineer has been practicing already.

AI is a tool that provides high leverage - if you've been following practices that allow sloppy coding, AI will absolutely amplify it.

If anything, I would guess that the AI assisted future will require engineers to think through the problem more upfront and consider edge cases instead of jump and type out the first thing that comes to mind - the AI can spit out code way faster.

There's an alternate, vibe coded universe where engineers just spit out slop but as I wrote in another comment here, there are tools to detect that. These are tools that sound "enterprisey" and that's because before AI, no one else had to deal with such scale of code - it's was just far too expensive to read, update and create PRs.

Those boundaries are coming down and now almost everyone who can pay for Oxygen tanks have a shot at scaling Mt. Everest.
