  > Or maybe people who like talking much more than they like code are now very excited about the possibility that talking has eaten software development.

This has been my experience. In my team, the most excited people appear to be those who spend most of their time in meetings.

There was an early era when the AI revolution was led by us Java users who had to deal with boilerplate lol. Plus review 4000 lines of code a day, a lot of it boilerplate as well. This was also the era of "clean code" and we were looking at adapters connected to adapters for no reason besides DRY being a holy rule.
