It's almost as if proving you are technically competent is the new problem. You can prove that you are a mechanic and driver, since the car obviously works and gets from A to B. Now anyone can call themselves an expert because AI makes it easy. As engineers we know that understanding fundamentals of these complex systems is essential but the average person only sees that Bob built an app for the back office and it seems to work. At best they understand that tech is complex and maybe there's a security flaw in his app. Ultimately shiny things win, people don't want to hear that anything is hard and they will generally take a risk until something fails rather than pontificate on the best way to do it (unless of course they are in architecture, compliance or security in which case they will complain but leadership will already be showing off the cool new thing)
