alt Hacker NewsI'm less convinced. I think as engineers/software-folks we tend to look at "something being built" as the end-result (since that's what we work towards).
Big companies though, are more concerned with value and risk. Say some data model provides $5 million in value, hiring a data person to check "everything is kosha", even if in theory someone could vibe code it by prompting an LLM, is a pretty good investment if it derisks the process.
To your point, I wonder if organizations will trend towards hiring 3rd party companies to check work so they have someone to blame and can "focus on innovation". It's already a popular tactic to hire consultants for risky business decisions. Perhaps this is a new prediction: companies get leaner while outsourcing the checks to the same people they fired.
