Amazon responded with a 90-day engineering reset, stricter code reviews, and tighter human oversight. The author argues AI lacks true decision-making and logic, making human oversight essential — especially for production systems. Advice for developers includes learning coding fundamentals, understanding AI limitations, controlling blast radius, and shifting toward architectural thinking rather than fearing job loss. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
