Comment on Why LLMs can't really build software

Reads to me as "Please help us justify the very expensive license we just purchased and all the talented engineers we just laid off."
I know the pain. Leadership's desperation is so thick you can smell it. They got FOMO'd, now they're humiliated, so they start lashing out.

Funny enough, the AI shift is really just covering for the over hiring mistakes in 2021. They can’t admit they fucked up in hiring too many people during Covid, so they’re using AI as the scapegoat. We all know it’s not able to actually replace people yet; but that’s happening anyway.
There won’t be any immediate ramifications, we’ll start to see that in probably 12-18 months or so. It’s just another form of kicking the can down the road.
