I had an interview for a Distinguished Engineer role at a big company yesterday...
It convinced me once again that most big companies don't know how to do quality, performance mature engineering.

The problem isn't that AI is actually capable of replacing software engineers.
It isn't. Not even close.
The problem is that there are a bunch of ignorant, foolhardy people in leadership positions who *think* that AI can replace software engineers.
This is causing real harm.

Yo dawg, I heard you like stylesheets, so I put stylesheets in your stylesheet. This would be rad for adoptedStylesheets in shadowRoots or any framework that imports styles. It's like an SVG sprite sheet for stylesheets.
