Actually, I agree. It won't be long before businesses handle software engineering like Google does "support." You know, that robotic system that sends out passive-aggressive mocking emails to people who got screwed over by another robot that locks them out of their digital lives for made up reasons [1]. It saves the suits a ton of cash while letting them dodge any responsibility for the inevitable harm it'll cause to society. Mediocrity will be seen as a feature, and the worst part is, the zealots will wave it like a badge of honor.
