You don't always design bigger systems from scratch as greenfield applications, most of the time you are delivering smaller features in incremental ways or fixing bugs. Even for greenfield projects, you can plan with the LLM and come up with a design you like at the high level but that still does not spare you from knowing (or not) how lower levels work, which is OP's original complaint.
In essence you basically say that you don't read or review the code produced in detail, you just know the high level design of how the system works.
>but the shift has never been as fundamental as it is today with AI.
How are we so sure? I'm not old enough to have lived through every/many big shifts in our industry but how do we know this is not what people who lived through the compiler-shift era felt? Or people who saw higher level languages like C or C++ be created, or the punch cards getting replaced with a digital display?
This AI stuff feels magical and so much bigger than other shifts, but maybe only in retrospect.
PayPal is the only real company to offer any meaningful support to customers targeted by fraud or in a real dispute with a company. Banks screw customers and for cards you are at the mercy of mastercard/visa and a long wait period for the dispute.
