This is so accurate. I am a fairly senior individual contributor and its been more than a year since I saw a good design doc or quality design discussion. Before you can even question the design, someone has generated a 50k line prototype and already made up their mind because of all the “you’re absolutely right..” and “X is exactly what you need..” from AI.
This very much. First thing built is what get approved. Even if it will generate 10x the workload down the line, because today's quality bar is very much demo level.
And then you get paged at 2am because prod is down and the support channel is more active than the team's one.
