Comment on Amazon cloud boss echoes NVIDIA CEO on coding being dead in the water: "If you go forward 24 months from now, it's possible that most developers are not coding"

  Lets wait for any LLM do a single sucessful MR on Github first before starting a project on its own. Not aware of any.

  there isn’t a single serious project written exclusively or mostly by an LLM? There isn’t a single library or remotely original application

  IMHO “original” here is the key. Finding yet another clone of a Web framework ported from one language to another in order to push online a basic CMS slightly faster, I can imagine this. In fact I even bet that LLM, because they manipulate words in languages and that code can be safely (even thought not cheaply) tested within containers, could be an interesting solution for that.

  … but that is NOT really creating value for anyone, unless that person is technically very savvy and thus able to leverage why a framework in a language over another creates new opportunities (say safety, performances, etc). So… for somebody who is not that savvy, “just” relying on the numerous existing already existing open-source providing exactly the value they expect, there is no incentive to re-invent.

  For anything that is genuinely original, i.e something that is not a port to another architecture, a translation to another language, a slight optimization, but rather something that need just a bit of reasoning and evaluating against the value created, I’m very skeptical, even less so while pouring less resources EVEN with a radical drop in costs.

  My last employer had many internal tools that were fine.

  They had only a moderate amount of oversight.

  I had to find a new job, I’m actually thinking of walking away from software development now that there are so few jobs :(

  It sucks but there’s no sense pretending this won’t have a large impact on the job landscape.

    What did these tools do? I don’t see any LLm being used to creating anything working from scratch, without the human propmter doing most of the heavy lifting.

      Mostly internal data cleaning stuff, close etc, which I accept is less in scope than you’re original comment.

        The things you are describing sound like if-statement levels of automation, GitHub Actions with preprogrammed responses rather than LLM whatever.

        If you’re worrying about being replaced by that… Go find the code, read it, and feel better.
