Companies will then eat shit when trying to maintain code after firing the ~~developer~~ prompt engineer that ~~wrote~~ inspired it.
I think management rarely understand why they pay people, but with tech is becoming super clear they don't understand that they pay us to maintain apps not code, and a huge party of that is understanding the app, which is why LOC is a bad metric, why riser4 was never merged into main & AI code isn't visible long term.
