The bit about drag-and-drop and Visual Studio hides a key insight: insofar as those tools allowed non-software engineers to build applications that were key to certain business processes, they were tech-debt accelerators. It is true to a very large degree; there are still businesses out there depending on shoddy VB applications that were built by someone that didn't know what they were doing, and they are hobbled by it. LLM-generated applications are the turbocharged equivalent of this, and I anticipate that giant spagehetti codebases will be made out of them, the likes of which have never been seen before, and the workflows that are wedded to them will be doomed.
