Excellent post. A few days ago I must admit I miserably failed to make the main point of this post (understanding) to convince people that they should stop producing code that they don't understand.

I found this extremely hard to do, especially if you are trying to convince people that have absolutely no real contact with source code. The false belief is that now with AI you can run on any topic without even knowing how to crawl.

People are immersed into the false belief that now because you can produce an app from night to day you don't need understanding anything at all. And they are absolutely fine with that. And that to me is the key problem: being ok on any topic without understanding and not realizing the cost of it.

I wish people would at least get deeply informed before making harmful decisions and get only lured by snake oil marketing.

In the end I think all math produced from these companies will be their ruin because they essentially show light on the fundamental problem: to advance you need to understand.
