Combine TDD and Self debugging into a workflow and you almost have a new paradigm of software development where entire applications can be developed with a series of prompts. Software programmers have finally programmed themselves out of jobs! It's kind of poetic justice that LLMs trained on open source code is replacing us.
We should have never listened to Richard Stallman. /s
- hklwrand 3y agoI'm not writing new open source. First, web developers have profited from the work of others while locking down their own work on servers. They became rich and started looking down on those who wrote real complex code. Now "Open"-AI launders the output while keeping their IP safe. I wonder though if the whole thing is a scheme by Microsoft to kill open source.
- chaxor 3y agoIn what world have web devs ever been able to look down on real software engineers?
- gwoolhurme 3y agoIf you really do feel that way. Honest non troll question. Why not quit? There still seems plenty of software work even if there was a feedback loop in the workflow. However if you feel we’ve wrote our selves out why not do something more physical. Not to sound snarky.
- enraged_camel 3y agoWriting code is such a small part of software development though. It’s an even smaller portion of software engineering (which involves tons of other skills such as translating user requirements/complaints into features/bug reports, recognizing trade offs and knowing when to make which one, having historical knowledge about the project such as which approaches to a particular problem have been tried and discarded and why, and so on).
