The Hardest Part of Software Was Never Writing Code

AI writes code in seconds. But does it build better systems?

As code gets cheap, real value moves to architecture and validation. I built a playground to test complex system logics directly. Curious to hear your thoughts on this setup!

Where is the real bottleneck of software development now?
  1. Architecture & System Design
  2. Validation & Testing
  3. Writing clean code is still key
  4. It's all about prompt engineering
