I’ve gotten this a couple times so one thing to clear up: At this point I think AI coding is akin to having a new compiler, and the language is just natural text (often specs). LLMs do not currently have the capability to make good engineering decisions past a certain level of complexity

Software devs who use an LLM for all the coding are more accurately called "customers" Since that's not their work and they're just pushing their responsibility onto something else.

I have no idea if this changes, but if we froze progress here, I’d say the job is far from dead, it just involves a new higher level programming language

my intuition is that if models froze here, we could spend at least a full decade fundamentally reconfiguring the entire practice of software development. maybe two. a much bigger step change in fundamentals than anything that happened in the cloud era there's just too much juice in the lemon
