alt Hacker News>The building of the software happens trivially now. You do not need a software engineer, sorry guys.
This part is quite "load-bearing".
I heard from someone who worked at Lovable that what most customers produce with that magical textbox is software that shouldn't go anywhere near production. Apparently the problem of thinking like an engineer is not solved by these AI tools. Most people who are not software engineers by trade are not capable of verifying what they produced, nor would they even consider needing to.
No offence, I think you might be a classic case of "senior who forgot how it feels to be junior", where after a lot work experience deva start taking their software engineering instincts for granted and forget that they are a skill that takes years to master. You can prompt an AI for a solution, you can even prompt it for ideas, but you cannot prompt it to think for you.
I believe you kind of can prompt it to think for you.
Is it really so hard to select Opus 5.5 in Claude Code and type into the box that you'd like an audit for production readiness?
I think you need a competent person, perhaps a product owner, in front of it to make sense of the output and direct it.
Maybe you are right and for a non-technical person this is harder than I imagine. But it is getting easier every month now, isn't it?
