Writing code has been cheap for a while now.

Writing good software is still expensive.

It's going to take everybody a while to figure that out (just like with outsourcing)

Dollars to donuts that at some point someone is going to discover that senior engineers spend just as much time reviewing, fixing, and dealing with blowups caused by, shitty AI-generated code produced by more junior coders....as they did providing various forms of mentoring of said junior coders, except those junior coders become better developers in the latter case, whereas the AI generates the same shitty results or even worse, inconsistent quality code.

Yeah, it’s odd watching the outsourcing debate play out again. The results are gonna be the same.

Which is a shame, cause I think LLMs have a lot more use for software dev than writing code. And that’s really what’s going to shift the industry - not just the part willing to cut on quality.
