Is that the question we will be asked going forward?
What tool did we use to generate code?
If we answer that we wrote it ourselves, will we be revered as an elder who once used the magical keyboard of Orbos to decipher the code of Phobos? I don’t think any of that exists.
This was a question that mattered 4 – 5 years ago when something looked off, and you wondered how something was being built.
Does it matter now, though?
Is it more a question of “How was this code generated?” that we will be asked going forward?
Or will we move beyond the code and focus on what the product does, how it scales, how performant it is, and what it can accomplish so we can move forward?
The age-old debate over code ownership is over; who wrote what doesn’t matter anymore, now it’s about what we delivered, which is what it always should have been.
