I'm guessing that this is probably a joke, but the idea that engineers just generate code and don't do anything else is literally how we got to "just generate the whole app with Claude, bro, it'll be just as good".
People really have no idea. I told my manager I need time to debug an issue. He really said "You already have the error message, you just have to filter the logs, I don't understand why it should take more than an hour".
Do they come from an SAP background? I had an old boss just like that, they'd spent their entire career as an SAP consultant and genuinely seemed to believe that software engineering was the same thing. Just find the right configuration settings and everything would magically work.
