Even thinking outside of product view point - speaking technically, I can't think of anything worse than junior dev's or PM's determining what they want technology-wise. At least once a week in my entire career I've had to shoot down awful ideas because they would be unnecessarily risky, won't possibly scale beyond minor use case, etc.

I would hazard a guess it's going to be extremely profitable being a consultant in the next few years.

I hope so. This is something I'm hoping to get into. As long as companies are trying to push their internal teams to use AI tools, I think it makes sense to position myself to follow along after them and clear the mess

I've worked on projects where each feature had its own unique part of the technology stack. To the point that multiple databases were used for one application.

I imagine 'vibe coded' applications to be similar to this but even worse.
