Beyond The Bug

Imagine this scenario.
A homeowner calls a plumber because there’s a leak in the kitchen sink.
The plumber fixes the leak.
But while inspecting the pipes, he notices something else:
- weak water pressure throughout the building
- poor pipe materials
- signs of rushed construction
- recurring corrosion patterns
- evidence that the condo itself may have systemic quality issues
The real value of the plumber was not merely tightening a pipe.
The real value was understanding the bigger system behind the visible problem.
Modern AI coding tools have a very similar limitation.
