>Throwing out code review is equivalent to throwing your hands up and saying you don’t need to understand anything about what your code is doing in its black box.
I think that is what the C-suite is currently wanting out of our engineers. Prompt, don't write, maybe read a bit, don't stop, ship, ship, ship.
Is the C-suite ready to sack the engineers and prompt Claude themselves with their business requirements? Why not cut out the middlemen if that's how they now perceive engineers?
If they can do that, why doesn’t someone else do it first, for half as much money? What’s their moat if their business can be replicated with a few prompts?
This will vary by company focus and size, but sometimes the C-suite just doesn't want to believe that software-engineering has important overlap with business-analysis or product-design.
