I think these types of tools will become really effective when they stop trying to target every single programming language and platform ever created and focus on one specific version of an integrated platform.
Most businesses don't actually need software to be in whatever flavor of the month the dev team happens to be interested in. They just want to be able customize their software.
By restricting the scope somewhat, you make it much more feasible to make sure the model has the training and/or knowledge ready for retrieval to fulfill tasks using a specific stack.
So I see this type of thing as quickly evolving into a tool for non-developers. And within a few years, these tools will cut into software engineering jobs. It will become part of the evolution of no-code and low-code.
- jstummbillig 3y agoAs long as it does the language that my business currently uses, I am all for that! Jokes aside, I am not sure I buy the premise. I have read somewhere (citation required) that LLMs get better at other things after having learned how to code. And maybe they also get better at coding in one language after having learned a bunch.
