This has been the experience of everyone making decisions in any company without being the one doing the technical work. It's not a novel concept. It's actually the opposite, compared to technical people running companies.

Well they had actual people who understood the code - because they wrote it and had a mental model pretty deep. Now the people owning the code don't understand it.

Won't you be worried if your mechanic didn't understand your car but offloaded it to a robot that made mistakes all the time?
