> easy to make changes to later

IMO it's still a problem with LLMs; we still have to build in a way that makes it easier for an LLM to make changes later and arguably it's the same things that made software development easier for humans. IME LLMs tend to not know how to do that for themselves and instead just amplify/copy patterns that already exist.

If an LLM can't pave the way for itself then ultimately shared understanding is required to take advantage of LLMs in the first place.

I agree. When I hire a professional I expect them to tell me when what I want is wrong or tell me how it can be done in a better way.

IME some organizations are just not open to alternative suggestions. Some genuinely just want people to do exactly as they’re told and work within the limitations of their system without question. This is IMO the worst type of organization to work for. Even in these environments, I would hope that people speak up.
