I have been sounding the alarm on my team that the current edict to go all-in and not plan features ("we can just throw it away and rebuild it"), not read code ("the agents should do all the coding and review") is something that will end up being a medium term regret since there will be a day of reckoning with pricing.
My sense is that these companies actively need the audience of developers to have their ability to read and write code atrophy and even stunt the growth of early- and mid-career engineers; create the dependency.
It will be interesting to see how this works out because some parts of the equation should get better over time (better algos, better infra), but there are now billions of dollars of investment to recoup and it will continue to be an arms race that requires more money.
