As financial systems become more interconnected, understanding system behavior becomes just as important as adding new functionality.
Who can take an action?
What conditions need to be be met?
What changes when state changes?
A lot of the thinking behind DAML starts with making those relationships easier to model and reason about from the beginning.
One of the benefits of Haskell is that it changes what engineers pay attention to.
Instead of asking whether code works, teams spend more time asking whether its behavior is obvious, predictable, and easy to reason about.
That becomes increasingly valuable in systems where mistakes are expensive and complexity accumulates over time.
One of the outcomes of AI may be that it increases the value of senior engineers rather than reducing it.
Generating code is becoming easier.
Understanding tradeoffs, identifying bad assumptions, designing resilient systems, and knowing where complexity will emerge is still hard.
As development speeds increase, engineering judgment becomes even more important.
