I think it actually replaces an army of junior engineers or your offshore development house. The real engineering continues while the grunt work is farmed out to AI. It also kills the junior engineer since there will be years where they are

I have worked in companies where the focus was finding who is responsible for failures. The result was that minor incidents were covered up to save bonuses and the problems (in the Problem Management context) that led to them were invisible

Widely used unbreakable encryption has been available in chat apps for at least a decade and hasn't led us down that slippery slope yet. PQ3 is just future proofing what we already have.

I don't know, most professionals in HK I have met are pretty open to challenging people but maybe that's just the people I choose to work with. In any case what I find strange is that usually HK finance companies (like much of the
