To me this looks like a great opportunity window for devs who care about this stuff.
In the future we will have opportunities to ship 10-1000x faster code than the baseline competition, just by understanding the tech stack, the codebase and knowing what is not needed, and that will be an immensely competitive advantage pushing the value of such devs through the roof in the markets that value it.
If you thought no-code app builders were producing slow stuff, wait until software purely developed by AI starts to hit the shelves.
- zelphirkalt 3y agoThis sounds awesome as an idea. I however am wary about how many management layers of companies will actually understand this and not chase the newest feature instead. They might tell their developers "make it work" and afterwards not allot any time to "make it clean". Hopefully you are right and a few will distinguish themselves by actually caring about the code.
- omneity 3y agoI am looking at it from a broad market perspective. Say you produce X, cutting on costs by generating most of it through AI, and your competitor just shipped Y that performs significantly faster (because developers are more involved, for example). If consumers show a strong preference for Y then market forces will drive demand up for these devs, and you might want to change product strategy to compete against Y. Of course it remains to be seen what real world effect all of this could have. I'm still bullish on the importance of human-in-the-loop patterns despite future AI progress.
