I'm not sure what you're referring to. I didn't say anything about capabilities of people. If anything, I defend people :-)

> And yes guard rails can be added easily.

Do you mean models can be prevented to do dumb things? I'm not too sure about that, unless a strict software architecture is engineered by humans where LLMs simply write code and implement features. Not everything is web development where we can simply lock filesystems and prod database changes. Software is very complex across the industry.

I know plenty of people who are shittier in writing code than Claude. People with real jobs who are expensive like 50-100k/year.

People whom you have to always handhold and were code review is fundamental.

You can write tests, pr gates etc.

It's still a scale in what you can let them do unsupervised vs controlling them more closely but already better than real people I know. Because they are also a lot faster.

Ah, you meant I overestimate the quality of people, not underestimate. I think that really depends. I have worked with some amazing people :-)

Low quality engineering is always visible to outside. Low quality engineers using LLMs won't get any better.
