I cannot emphasize how much I believe we, as a software industry, need to be ready to catch people and offer alternatives once the AI hype bubble bursts and using LLMs for primary code generation becomes clearly untenable.
We had problems of incentives before. A lot of software was built bad or for bad purposes before. Silicon Valley was a huge influence on the whole industty before the AI hype, too.
The burst has the chance of disillusioning a lot of developers. Are we ready for that?

Those of us who have long been talking about the problems in software development are about to get a chance to convince a rapt audience, that has been burned by the existing dominant culture. Are we ready for that? Do we know what to say? How are we going to ghelp people become part of a movement for better software, for them and the world? I'm talking software development culture, inclusing for learning, sure, but also economic structures with better incentives. Now is the time to prep.
