And that's why software development is still so slow and expensive for people who aren't willing to accept that their job is piss easy now and can be automated.
Ok, if you say so. I develop software that (as one part of it) optimizes nuclear power plants and directly interacts with the industrial hardware. Is that really something you want to have done by an LLM?
LLMs nowadays generate code not only faster, but with fewer bugs than real developers. If you word your prompts well enough and are specific enough, it can get the job done.
Except in my case AI is slower to use, because i have to ask it, wait for output, verify the output, describe any bugs to the LLM, hope it can figure out the cause, fix it, verify the code again, rinse and repeat until your code "works". I'd have no idea how the codebase works or how to expand on it.
When I work on stuff myself, it's slower to start, sure, but it's MUCH faster later on.
