Taste" is the new 10x. Senior devs who can't curate AI output are cooked.

Experienced engineers are discussing the importance of 'taste' in the AI age, which refers to the ability to assess AI output and identify potential issues. This skill is crucial as AI can generate code quickly, but it's not always 'ready to ship'. Skilled engineers must be able to distinguish between functional and high-quality code. To develop good taste, engineers need to observe programs succeed and fail, and review more code than they write. Without good taste, even solid architecture knowledge is not enough.
