That’s also true without AI. Engineers want more time to polish and businesses want to ship the 80/20 solution that’s good enough to sell. There's always going to be a tension there regardless of tools.
Now there actually is time to make things robust if you learn how to do it.
What makes you think you are going to be given time to polish it? You would be pushed to another project. You have more responsibilities with none of the growth.
Or you’re getting the model to do the polishing, thereby developing no skills of your own, and we’re back to the start.
The argument seems to be that AI is causing managers to demand faster results, and so everything has to be a one-shotted mess of slop that just barely works. My point is that it doesn’t take much longer to build something solid instead. Implementation time and quality/robustness are not tightly coupled in the way they used to be.
