Now instead of aiming for robust, malleable code, people are throwing up their hands and saying, "It was always a mess, let's just keep throwing more tokens at it."
If a dev just followed public trends, then I guess I can see how they came to the conclusion that this is the best way out, because their baseline level of comprehension is so far in the floor. It's like circling around the entrance of a maze for days until finally an AI merchant shows up near the door, and they say "well clearly, the only way to get out of this maze is to pay the merchant for his fancy roomba to carry me out" instead of carefully mapping your way through.
From a selfish perspective, that's fine by me. I've built up skills that I don't think will be replaced in the near-term, and in that same period most people will end up de-skilling. The only downside is that I've had to shrink my circle that I collaborate with even further.
This is a one possible approach/explanation:
