Hate the fact that when someone dreams up an article such as this [nasty word] where the central premise is that, '[SW engineering constraint] is no longer an issue anymore'... it's always because the solution is to turn off your brain and ask the LLM. It's almost similar to, 'because computers have gotten faster and memory's cheaper, we can write [nasty word] software' but this time it's, 'proper code architecture don't matter anyway because ain't gonna read it'. Jesus! I am very certain, without evidence, that even LLMs have an upper bound for the shittiest, most warped code even they can understand and explain. How sad is it that we're going from 'this engineering constraint has been solved' to 'that's [LLM provider]'s problem'. There is a finite amount of context, a finite amount of signal that can be extracted from that context, and a finite amount of inferential reliability. Give the freaking chatbot a bizzare enough monstrosity and eventually the model's explanation becomes an increasingly plausible reconstruction rather than a reliable model of the program. This is the goddamned wall these damned idiots are about to run into... Taking on debt, pushing architecture in the OPPOSITE direction of human understanding AND banking on a neutral-at-best external entity to keep doing YOUR job for (essentially) free! And what's crazy is that I'm the absolute furthest thing from an Ai-hater AND I'm a 23yo JUNIOR PROGRAMMER but these sentiments are getting ridiculous asf on both ends of the AI preference spectrum.
