Writing code is one of the less important parts of your job as a developer. Understanding what the client actually wants and turning that into code is where the real difficulty lies for most software development. Also, I doubt we'll be able to overcome the "subtly wrong/insecure" issues with a lot of LLM generated code

> Understanding what the client actually wants This is what AI bros don’t understand since they seem to spend their days writing CRUD backends for REST APIs. You need to understand a lot of stuff before coding anything: - client: what do you want? - product owner: what does the client really want? - me: what do they fucking want and how will I do it? - QA: how will I test this cleanly so that they don’t bother me all day long? - manager: when do you want it? - boss: how much are you willing to spend for this? We usually say that nerds are shy and introverted, but we are central to the development of a product, and I don’t think an AI can change this.
