Im still waiting for a project that is not a 'pet project' that is mostly LLM-assisted that Wow's me. Why is it taking so long I wonder? Hmm, perhaps all this 'intelligence' is neat. But it is not what pushes humanity forward - which ultimately is what matters. That's the whole point of expending resources...
Quite possible.
With all due respect, you sound like a bozo - Ive seen you edit your post about 5 times.
What matters is the aggregate activity in the labour market - for which - the activity associated with demand for software engineers is healthy.
I think we are learning as we go along much of what goes on in the world.
E.g. even though LLMs can generate code and we have agents - the profession of software engineers is not being destroyed. The demand for software engineers in the labour market is still strong.
Also a thing that wasnt spoken about loudly (and for good reason) is that code is not perfect - this means bugs/vulnerabilities are there. And the reality is, it is optimal to have done this - for it were not done, the release of software and the moving of resources towards other projects would slow. Aka slowing down economic activity.
And there were people like you claiming that the jobs of SWE's would start imploding the moment LLMs could generate sufficient code that could be considered production grade.
You, just like 'them' are no better. It would be better if all those on the extreme ends could be muted - the truth is closer to the middle.
