Yeah, fully agree with all that.
I've got some godawful spaghetti code I don't understand fully, and it's pretty good at deciphering that and the bizarre labyrinth of code paths leading around it. But it's absolutely no guarantee of working code, and in any project larger than a simple crud app, you are going to still need programmers who know about things like memory and databases.
It often needs pointing at a solution you want, because as you pointed out, it's fond of dumb band-aids. Like yesterday when it was trying to hook into mouse wheel events and create separate threads, when all it needed was an event on the dataset I was using to load a sub-dataset.
