I prefer the 'code is legos' metaphor. Well defined interfaces that hurt like hell if you step on them. You get a practically indestructible chunk that is simple by itself but can be composed to extreme complexity. Parts can be used in many different contexts and new parts are constructed when required. I think AI actually increases the need for this kind of construction.
