I'm hopeful the annual 13x drop in LLM prices will result in reasonably prized frontier models that can produce something that's actually readable, and that reasons about the code with mental models similar to those of humans, before generating the code. Everyone is in the same mess with their black boxes of unintelligible code, and that's a huge issue for security since transparency and verifiability are the same reason we expect e.g. secure messaging apps to be open source.
But as projects snowball, I wonder if they will ever fit the context window of reasonably prized LLMs.
