An engineer's job isn't to build something perfect or beautiful, it's to build something that's just good enough for its intended use case. Lots of software engineers forget that.

Who is responsible for making it look good? fast? resilient? The architect? In software development the engineer can be the architect, the decorator, the user. AI will unleash the age of artisan software - which already exists, so many great free software developers came before us but now it will spread like a "plague". It has the potential to disrupt SaaS as we know it today.
