Software engineering hasn't changed. Every aspect of it is the same as 4 years ago. A code monkey churns out poorly designed code and poorly deploys it. Nobody really pays attention and it kinda looks like it works - until it doesn't. The only difference now is the code monkey's name is Claude and everyone can hire him. But every part of the SDLC, every component, every way it's used, are all identical. Same difference as a hammer and a nail gun. The job of a house framer didn't change, it just got faster and slightly easier.

And also quicker/easier to screw up in subtle and insidious ways!
