Brueckner puts the steering wheel and the liability in the same argument

Verdict

Siegfried Brueckner makes “die Rolle, die für uns übrig bleibt” an organizational question rather than another lament for the lost pleasure of programming. The name required on a Git commit supplies the mechanism: code production accelerates beyond individual inspection, while accountability still needs a human address—a harder claim to make than simply declaring AI alienating. “Wir haben uns vom Konstrukteur zum zertifizierten Sündenbock hochgearbeitet” gives that mismatch a precise verbal chassis: “hochgearbeitet” turns supposed professional advancement into promotion to designated culprit. His demand for deterministically checkable architecture keeps responsibility tied to control, rather than asking engineers to accept liability as vocational duty. And “Aber ist das wirklich so?” usefully reopens his own diagnosis; the passenger in the warning vest remains an argument to examine, not a forecast he pretends to have proved.
