When I look at how AI and LM systems, sw, platforms, have been built over the last decade (and are still being built), I can't help but to think that what really every mattered was the response the system produced.

Never mind the quality or if it's even going to work in production.

And maybe that's all that's needed, I don't really know.

I'm sure that's just me being the old curmudgeon of a software engineer I am, wishing people thought about more than one user using a system and 2 engineers supporting it.
