What I do see is that the frontier models can get easy stuff mostly right, but they can’t maintain a small codebase such that it behaves correctly across several mutations. When the going requires a lot of context, tests get rewritten to not do anything and features that manipulate similar data get divergent implementations. That’s fine for goofing around personally, but I see vibe coders getting their asses handed to them when they mistake that for a well maintained codebase and try to sell a product.
Please, don’t mistake an impressive technology for a miracle; there will still be people needed to make codebases healthy for a long time to come.
This reads like it can write a better javascript function that executes a SQL statement and maps the parameters.
> They’ll get to 95% of most niche coding domains by December and likely all coding tasks sometime next year; 99% better at all tasks by December 2028.
Basing this prediction on LLMs writing what something like an ORM would generate for you doesn't connect for me.
I'm not hanging my hat yet and can still see where LLMs struggle. I think it's the best bet you can make: keep working for the future where you'll still be needed, because you can't prepare for the future where you're not.
