Trust me, I’m a well seasoned leathery developer and I’m no newbie when it comes to using AI. But this level of irrational exuberance is so over the top I just can’t take it seriously.

Yes, in the very long term I expect this to be able to replace large swaths of the sw dev lifecycle, product, ideation, the whole kaboodle. That’s a long way off, whatever “a long way off” means in this accelerated timeline.

For the next bunch of years, yes you’ll have to worry about architecture, coupling, testing, etc. I’m happy to have my competitors share your attitude, cause we’ll smoke them in the market.
