Tech in 2026: Where we have the most advanced tools, books, documents and help support systems in human history, yet my everyday apps are somehow functioning 15x worse than they did six months ago 😒

definitely a refreshing dose of reality check from AWS 😂 tge reality is AI can spit out 5k lines of code in seconds, but writing code isn't the bottleneck reviewing, debugging & maintaining it is. u always need humans to double check everything because it is not reliable enough
