In five years time, some CTO will review the mysterious outage or technical debt in their organisation.

They will unearth a mess of poorly written, poorly -documented, barely-functioning code their staff don't understand.

They will conclude that they did not actually save money by replacing human developers with LLMs.

@ajsadauskas @technology I agree right up to the end. I think they'll conclude they need a more powerful LLM.

Good thing by then we'll have oracle LLM. You may only use it for writing software. But we'll definitely charge you for answering questions about life the universe and everything.

That'll be all your profit this year minus the C-level bonuses please.

Average CTO: what a steal!

And the Web interface will be that of PeopleSoft!
