My personal beef is the human devs get "make me a sandwich", and the LLM superfans now suddenly know how to specify requirements. That's fine but don't look down your nose at people for not getting the same info.

This is happening now at my company where leadership won't explain what they want, won't answer questions, but now type all day into Claude and ChatGPT. Like you could have Slacked me the same info last year knuckleheads...

Absolutely. Merely being a member of the business class does not magically mean one has the ability to specify business requirements much less product specifications. These are *not* the people I'm talking about now having superpowers.

I am picturing people who blend high level engineering and product skills, ideally with business sense.
