That just doesn’t work with current AI beyond a very small scale. I know. I’m on the team that spends our time fixing the vibe coded messes caused by people who think code doesn’t matter anymore.

I have a practically unlimited AI budget and I use it all day long. We have entire teams of very smart people trying to make it possible for PMs to turn jira tickets into features.

We ain’t there yet.

My strong suspicion is that we won’t get there without something close to AGI. And if we get there, there won’t be any white collar jobs left much less software developer jobs.

If AI can take your raw idea and turn it into code with no input from you, it will be able to generate the ideas too.

This was last week with frontier models. Practically what it means is that I need to audit the code. Approximate changes don’t work when you move past very small scale projects.
