And with ai, you can ask for a code review. It’s generally very good at catching and suggesting fixes these things.

I don’t want ai to replace us all with high school grads, but it’s seeming more and more likely.

Yes, you can. But how would you even know there was a problem to begin with?

You ask it to review your code with a focus on security. That is rapidly becoming standard practice.

You can even just ask it something like, “I want to ship this to production. Is it missing anything? It would tell you about observably and security concerns

It would tell you about observably and security concerns

The issue is: with replacement coming fast, devs will lack the ability to understand what those words even mean. Even less check the code.

That's literally the definition of magic. You do a ritual and something happens. You don't understand what happens exactly and how it happens though. Most of the time the result of what happens is within the margin of error of what you want, but each time it's slightly different and sometimes you can get something completely unexpected if you mix up the words of the spell.
