Alessandra makes a powerful point. And it makes me wonder what bugs the quality engineers of the next five years will be faced with. We've already seen folks pulling apart fundamental flaws in AI-generated apps. Yet I wonder as those "tools to build apps" improve, how quality engineers will stay sharp to continue to identify vulnerabilities and risks?

Time-saving tools to rapidly create apps make sense. Of course it does. Yet might this rapidity degrade quality? Might it create a dangerous wave of complacency. How do we tackle that?
