As a software developer, this article has been able to give me a glimmer of hope that my skills won’t be fully obsolete once LLMs mature. The high level instructions (author calls them „programs“ even) will require highly structured thinking, translating business goals into actionable slices. I’ve played with AutoGPT today, and, while the results were underwhelming (once it crashed, and once it got stuck in an infinite loop because it wrongly requested a website critical for the task) - it was an experience very similar to my first attempts at learning C. I tried to tell the system what I want it to do, and it mostly really followed my instructions. If (when?) all the components have improved in reliability and speed, this will become an insanely powerful way of working. A la „Make a website from this PDF with nextjs and deploy it to netlify“. Not very unlike „Read this file from disk and parse CSV rows from it“ as we are doing now, as devs working with high level programming languages.
