> Also, I've personally seen more interest in AI in devs that have little interest in technology, but a big interest in delivering. PMs love them though.

Is this a bad thing? Maybe I'm misunderstanding it, but even when I'm working on my own projects, I'm usually trying to solve a problem, and the technology is a means to an end to solving that problem (delivering). I care that it works, and is maintainable, I don't care that much about the technology.

Read it as "closing a ticket" that makes sense. They don't care if the code explodes after the sprint.

Caring that it works and is maintainable is caring about the technology.

No code solutions are often superior. Around 15 years ago we were shipping terabyte hard disks as it was faster than the internet (until one got stuck in customs)
