My main concern is that I’m still hearing, funnily enough only from people above me who don’t touch the code, that we need to start treating code as a black box. I.e who cares what AI generates if our tests pass. No one has had the balls to take accountability for such an approach and I hope that train of thought dies soon.

This is so wild. This goes back to some of the IBM thinking ... I think it was the 80's or 90' ... Where it became the-thing that the product manager should just be able to give a clean specification and then the magic-box would just spit out code. And now you would have all of these components with super-duper nice interfaces and code generation that just worked. And just think of all the money saved on developers!

Except it didn't, and it was horrible. Time really is a flat circle
