Pessimistically, this is the medium term role I see for a lot of devs. Less actual development, more assembly of pieces and being good enough at cleaning up generated code.
If an LLM can get you even 25% there most of the time, that's a massive disruption of this industry.
- zrobotics 3y agoI mean, especially in webdev we've been heading in that direction for a while now anyway. So much of the job is already just wiring up different npm packages and APIs that someone else has written. I've read substantially similar comments back in the mid 2010s about how people weren't learning the fundamentals and just pulling things like left pad off of a repo. That did cause a disruption in how people coded by abstraction away many of the problems and making the job more about integrating different things together.
