@shriramk @lindsey @cross @krismicinski @jfdm @csgordon @jeremysiek Do you think that the "no one will look at the generated code anymore" future is inevitable? Given how often the industry has tried to generate programs directly from English-like specs before and failed, I'm quite skeptical, even if we have notably different tech this time around. Internally at Google many folks (including high-level ones) are making this claim without evidence, as if it's obvious from its face, and I'm surprised how few people push back on it or at least ask for more proof.

    @shriramk @lindsey @cross @krismicinski @jfdm @csgordon @jeremysiek LLM-based code generation reminds me of some of Bret Victor's talks: there are some cool ideas and convincing demos, but also a lot more work to do before one can say "we've solved all of the problems; everyone should be doing this all the time now".
