Where do humans fit in AI-assisted software development?
Not “out of the loop” – but “on the loop”!
As Kief Morris explains, developers are shifting toward:
→ designing specs
→ defining tests
→ shaping feedback mechanisms to guide AI agents
→ governing how AI systems behave

Today's find on the impact of LLMcoding to maintainability of the result.
Assumption 80% of a systens cost arises from.maintenance, thus maintainability is still relevant in the prssence of LLMcoding.
TL;DR: A fool with a tool is still a fool. And LLMcoding is just that: a tool
Given the confirmation bias I'm curious to see reproduction and follow up studies and papers.
The video mentions that the results were published as a peer reviewed paper. Unfortunately I couldn't immediately find said paper. If any one finds it, please post a link/DOI below.

While the AI agent certainly accelerated my learning and helped me validate my understanding and the impact of my high-level decisions (on tech quality, product design, and business impact), the responsibility for every final decision rested with me as part of the "human review and verification" step.
