    Sharing this from the article to hopefully save the post a few downvotes:

    Coding was never the bottleneck. Not recently. Not in the last decade. Arguably not since we stopped feeding punchcards into machines.

      Kind of on the author for giving the article a clickbaity title.

      Today there’s lots of interest in “specification driven development” with GenAI as if it’s the hot new thing.

      Agree with the author — “specification driven development” is like saying cold ice cream is the hot new thing.

      I feel this so much. I started doing a rewrite of a plugin wanting to understand how it does its work and the real bottleneck is not knowing what’s being done, not how to write it down
