How do you know that they are largely writing code? Is that because the appropriate oversight has indicated as such? What visibility do any of us have to what they are doing? And why should we trust any result they produce?

The lack of critical thinking in this entire comment section is breathtaking?


Why would you hire top software engineers to do anything else than build software systems?
