The majority of software engineers today, (mostly in big tech) are not interested in software engineering. They studied it to make money. This happened before LLMs. Add the fact that software development isn’t deterministic. And you have a perfect storm of chaos.

But our discipline has been through similar disruptions in the past. I think give it a few years then maybe we’ll settle on something sane again.

I do think the shift is permanent though. Either you adapt to use these LLMs well or you will struggle to be competitive (in general)

That certainly isn't true if what this article suggests is true.
