If AI can code, why do you think it cannot handle building, testing, debugging, securing, monitoring, supporting, incident handling, and so on?
Consider incident handling. What if your AI sets up monitoring that detects errors or outages, wakes up an agent, gives it the problem context, then sets it to work so it can debug the issue, produce a fix, then deploy it? You now have an end-to-end system that works 24/7. Many issues will probably be resolved before you've even noticed them.
If your response is, AIs won't ever be smart or capable enough to do this as well as humans, how has that same prediction worked out for coding?
The next generation of AI "coding" tools will essentially be SaaS companies in a box. Agents will code the app, but they'll also test it, debug it, support it, etc. And this will happen in months, not years.

Have you ever been actually involved in trying to fix an error or outage? Like actually on an on-call rotation where you had to deal with reported issues?
