  • Many senior level “software engineers” are just tenured programmers and they’re managed by business people who don’t know software engineering either. One of the major benefits of using off the shelf software libraries is that they generally work as expected and have been through much more testing than something you just wrote, and often these libraries even receive free or cheap maintenance updates. You don’t want your developers wasting time reimplementing things and then wasting more time maintaining those reimplementations.

    Getting the AI to write it is like mitigating the initial reimplementation cost by going to Fiver.
