So what happens when OpenAI releases TicketFixer 0.8 which synthesizes everything from transcripts of your meetings to the comments to the JIRA ticket to the existing codebase and spits out better tickets to feed into the programming side?

Yup, I hope that'll happen. Then engineers would just end up being done at a higher level of abstraction closer to what designers do with wireframes and mockups.

Kind of the opposite of the way graphic design has evolved. Instead of getting more involved in the process and, in many cases, becoming front-end developers, it'll become more abstract where humans make the decisions and reason about what to include/exclude, how it'll flow, etc.

Even TicketFixer wouldn't be able to do more than offer a handful of possible solutions to design-type issues.

Yeah, we need our TicketFixer to also include the No_Bob 0.2 plugin that figures out that a decent percentage of the time whatever "Bob" is asking for in that meeting is not what "Bob" thinks he is asking for or should be asking for and can squash those tickets. Without that we're gonna somehow end up with spreadsheets in everything.

Haha, yeah, there's that, but there are also things like "adding a dark mode." There are a dozen ways to accomplish that kind of thing, and every company's solution will diverge when you get down to the details.

Take my money.
