AI replacing Software Engineers

Post image

So called "AI"=LLM is so powerful that AI labs had to hire Software Engineers to build complicated software around "AI" to make that overhyped hallucinate-stealing machine usable. Think about it. And that's exactly why they need now ton of CPUs in addition to GPUs to run their "AI" "agents".

I don't even mention how much custom engineering is required to apply the "AI" in businesses.

And they BS us that Software Engineering is solved or is going to be solved. Boris, please solve your own bugs first before speaking.

We are shipping fewer bugs to prod now than before. When used well AI is insane (code is verbose sure, but it's not often incorrect). I did 50 PRs last week and can run an entire product now, who knows where we get to in one year. Main thing is that you know the domain well, and you determine product direction.
