The industry is clinically insane.&lt;p&gt;It allows people who do bad work to do more of it quickly. Before they had to manually shovel garbage into projects but now they have a dumptruck.&lt;p&gt;You know what? It might be fine. Maybe we&amp;#x27;re going to have a world of fast food programming where minimum wage coders pump out trash and there&amp;#x27;s going to be Michelin star programmers where you go to for the real stuff.&lt;p&gt;If that&amp;#x27;s the case, we&amp;#x27;ll have to somehow educate the public on the difference so they don&amp;#x27;t think it&amp;#x27;s the same thing. McDonald&amp;#x27;s and The French Laundry are both successful restaurants. That world is possible in programming as well.&lt;p&gt;It might already be like that.
