My bigger concern is actually that, if a company isn't careful, the bloat (complexity, amount of code, other artifacts etc.) will just balloon and largely cancel out any gains.

Feedback is often only considered once something is already on fire (financially, functionally, or literally).

That’s the game plan for the AI companies: once companies have massive codebases of critical AI generated code and a skeleton crew of prompt engineers they’re going to be locked in to the AI product to develop anything new.

They’re not even selling shovels, they’re selling subscriptions for shovels.
