I couldn't agree more. We really need more engineers to be vocal about how stupid these ideas are. "How about we throw out 30+ years of software engineering literature so we can 'move faster'?" What if the customers on the other end don't want new features, they just want software stability? If SQLite came out with a new LLM-written feature a week, would it be a better library? If you know what to build, writing software right the first time pays for itself over time. LLMs are still great, but more for rapid prototyping, researching, log diving, one-off scripts...

Sorry, </rant>.
