Google engineer spends a year building distributed agent orchestrators, probably through countless architecture meetings, design docs, code reviews, and debugging sessions. Then Claude Code recreates it in an hour because someone finally knew how to describe what they actually wanted.
The brutal truth: AI coding assistants are incredible when you already know the solution architecture. It's like having a junior dev who codes at 10x speed but needs crystal-clear requirements. The year-long project? That was figuring out what to build. The one-hour recreation? That was just typing it out with extra steps.
Turns out the hard part of software engineering was never the coding—it was always the "what the hell are we actually building and why" part. AI just made that painfully obvious.
