We didn't need LLMs to come up with the genius idea of making every desktop app a web browser.

Software quality was in terminal decline already, the only hope is that LLMs get good enough to dig outselves out of the several miles deep hole that has been dug.

the root problem isn't the code though; its the business and how its run that affects it, llms will just make it amplified imo

It was trained on that declining quality. Now it's just digging faster.

Agreed, for the individual LLMs can be powerful to let less technical folks build and customize their software - at an org level I reckon we'll start seeing more sinking ships as that bottleneck was actually helpful at limiting the flow of lackluster features to prod.
