Even though I disagree with (when I worked on CUDA at nvidia if I ran the TOT compiler on the same shaders one day and the next they could often change), the point is not to compare the two things side by side. It's just to say there are lots of times in life where for whatever reason we can give up old jobs.

Oh I dont disagree that it does replace some jobs. Why use junior developers when AI generates the same quality?

Just that comparing LLM to a compiler is nonsense. Because one is deterministic and the more using it, the better the quality will get.

When encountering a difficult problem, add an indirection.

That indirection, in the case of LLMs, is formal proof. It can actually turn an LLM into a sort of compiler. Where, if the compiler run completes successfully, you don't need another run, and you are sure it is correct.
