The article is AI slop, obviously, like practically everything on the internet these days it seems. Awful writing, circling endlessly around the same point. The entire article could have been a single sentence. Which of course, is how it began. As a prompt.
The article is also wrong. Or, at least, indicative of a broken relationship between management and engineering. If you have an engineer who can decide to rewrite the entire product without management buy-in, then that's an organisational and a discipline problem.
Added to which, of course, maintainability and build-ability both matter an enormous amount. Work to improve both of those things will improve the business.
What I'm curious about is why all AI written articles try to hide they were written with AI vs being open about it. I'd actually be far more willing to engage with an AI written article if the author shares the chat transcripts that lead them to the finished piece and I could load that context into my own session and ask additional questions/interrogate my own ideas branching from it.
Instead, people always try and pull the illusion as if the AI didn't exist.
I am sorry to hear the article sounds like AI slop to you.
