Agreed, and in fact even pre-AI good development teams weren't limited by speed of code generation (how to build it), but rather making the right thing (what to build).
Not sure I agree, with human coders, time was still a resource to be managed.
Yes, but don’t forget one of the variables for the “what to build” equation is the cost of having people now also machines who know how to build it. Jury still out on the machines because the “how” is much more complicated than “make it work, make no mistakes”, but still, the cost of code production has come down so much that the whole equation is different now.
