"writing code was never a bottleneck"
"the real problem was always 'not enough bug reports'"
"with this new technology we can send more emails"
I'm sensing a pattern here. We have invented a machine that increases the rate at which we can generate work-shaped background noise files, without ever increasing the amount of meaningful completion of work.

@elrohir@mastodon.gal Going forwards, this will be the difference between '100% humans' and the others.

@elrohir@mastodon.gal Analysis of requirements could be hard. Learning a language doesn't teach you how to design. 1 Analysis 2 Specification 3 Design 4 API / Module design 5 Writing the code 6 Testing 7 Demo and often change #2 & repeat. #5 Code is the easiest bit and LLM/Generative AI is bad at it. Good bits are often copied. Should be called Large Text Models as Language needs understanding. Plagiarism machines. Better search & documentation is more useful. LLM/Gen AI waste time & energy. A lie.
