Code Generation versus Software Engineering Practice

The way we write code has changed but not the way we engineer software. We use AI to generate the code, we use better tools, and we move much faster. Great, we got code generation on demand. But engineering is the same as it was a decade ago. • managing complexity • understanding the system • scalability • security and vulnerability Today, anyone can easily build a todo app for themselves. In their favorite colors, functionality, the way they want it. That's coding. But taking that todo app to 1000 users without breaking it. Without leaking users' data. Managing DBs. That's engineering.
