Great vision for 2030.
But as for today, have we all just collectively decided to pretend that the LLMs we have are capable of writing good software?
I use LLMs a lot in my workflow, I probably spend a whole day per week learning and fiddling with new tools, techniques, etc. and trying to integrate them in all sorts of ways. Been at it for about a year and a half, mainly because I’m intrigued.
I’m sorry but it still very much sucks.
There are things it’s pretty good at, but writing software, especially in large brownfield projects, is not one of them. Not yet, at least.
I’m starting to believe many are just faking it.
Most of them are, yeah. There are a lot of Idea Guys on here, who are in love with the idea that they no longer need effort or skills to Create Their Vision. If they can just prompt hard enough, success will come rolling in.
