Grady Booch endorses take that 100% AI-written code is a fad that will walk back

Software engineering legend Grady Booch (co-creator of UML) publicly endorses a take arguing that the shock over software engineering transitioning to "100% AI-written" code in such a short time is itself evidence it's a fad — just like when everyone went RUP, UML, or Big Data.
The prediction: a lot of this gets walked back in the next few months, after which a much healthier relationship with AI coding tools will develop over time. Booch's endorsement gives the "AI coding hype will rationalize" thesis a heavyweight backer.
