Did you see the Apple event? And admire the polish, the lengths they go-to, the magic that the hard word and repetition creates -- that final moment when you see the end user use something you made.
AI can write the code, but we believe the strategy, the key decisions on when to trust or ditch belongs to the engineer, a human one for now.
