Why would anyone want to go back? It seems likely that the automated dev systems will just keep improving and get faster, cheaper, stronger.
reply> automated dev systems
replyThey are large language models. Not automated development machines. They hallucinate.
The goal post has not shifted since 2023 or so. Make an LLM that doesn't blatantly disregard knowledge it has, instructions it has been giving, over and over, and you win. If trillions of USD of investment can't do it, I'd be curious to see what can.
There are definitely automated dev systems, of which an LLM is a part. The remaining part may be called a 'harness' or whatever. The quality of the generated software is another matter.
replyIf the AI is not good enough, then don't fire the devs. If/when the devs are no longer needed, I don't see why the need would return later, that was my point.
I agree with you, but it's a case of the tradegy of the commons. One single company cannot make a meaningful dent even with your insight.
