I'm not sure its a problem in of itself, but i agree it definitely enables a problem. Between "is-even" and vibe coding, modern software engineering is in a very sorry state.

Yeah. I feel like in a few years when literally nothing works or is maintainable, people are going to have a resurgent realization of the importance of reliability in software design, that just throwing bodies and lines of code at the problem builds up a shaky structure that just isn't workable anymore once it grows beyond a certain size.

We used to know that, and somehow we forgot.
