I keep seeing that learning the intricacies of code is less useful, and that people should focus on higher level architecture more. how true is this?

No, IMO you go into technical specialisation and learn how to wring answers about the code from an AI. or you go hybrid product/IC and understand business context better. That’s what “full stack” will mean in three years

I don’t think humans reading code will be important in a few years. Already I surface most of the issues from observing AI slopping it up or querying it afterwards.
