Turtles all the way up, and all the way down. AI getting this good at coding means it's a hop skip and a jump away from being this good at every white collar role.

The reason human judgement is necessary is not because it's "better". It's because the entire reason the business exists is to execute the human's judgement. There is no "right or wrong" way to build a startup if different paths are all profitable, but the human decides what they want to do.
Could Bun have survived and done well even if they didn't rewrite the codebase in Rust? Yes, it would've been fine. But the human decided they wanted Rust, that's a different path they chose with different tradeoffs. The AI has no skin in the game , no ownership, it doesn't belong to the AI. The AI only exists to serve the human. And if the human wants to make good decisions, inevitably they need engineering expertise (or an engineer) to weigh the decision.
