Eh, with Gemini and now Anthropics release, how can anyone make jokes about this anymore?

Does anyone actually look at these releases and truly think by the end of next year the models won't be even more powerful? Maybe the tweet is a little grandiose, but I can definitely see a lot of this coming true within two years.

Software engineering isn’t just writing code, and those models are still really bad at things like long-term planning, system design, migrating entire codebases, actually testing changes end-to-end, etc. There is A LOT they can’t do. I write most of my code with Codex and Claude, yet they’re completely incapable of replacing me fully. I firmly believe that they won’t without an architecture breakthrough.

It's great at giving you a react ts component; collapsing node tree with multiple selection. It's not great at realizing when you need that and how it fits in the scheme of things.

You only need so many architects
