I’m sure out of the many attempts to automate the production of software and get rid of those pesky, expensive devs, THIS one will work.
replyTell me again how the code quality of the Linux kernel doesn't matter, only its business value.
reply> But code craft not the job. The job is to produce business value. Code craft used to aid that, but now it's an impediment.
replyThat is false. Code craft is still very much an aid to business value. If you just turn an LLM loose and don't review its work, you get a buggy mess over time. If you use an LLM, you must review and understand each line of code or you are sabotaging the quality of your work.
My whole thesis is we've been doing this with humans since the beginning. I'm not finding anything unique about LLM generated code. You gotta define standards the "developer" can read and implement. You gotta review the code for compliance. You gotta test the code for quality. You gotta perfomrance test for scalability. Who gives a flying turkey whether a meat-puppet (human) or a clanker (llm) wrote the code? It's still just code.
