Agree. My point is: I (and I'm just talking about me) started working in this industry because it helped me to create new things based into problems that required a great level of creativity and introspection. Maybe because I'm a problem solver, who knows. But with this pivot in the industry I dont feel engaged with the new AI paradigm, it represents nothing of interest to ask for answers to a machine (no matter how we want to call this new thing...)

In fact, managers soon will come with the idea of removing development cells because the one-man band is a reality (one developer for all the functions of the team helped by an AI agent). This will shock us all much much more than the coding capacities of an LLM or another.

> But with this pivot in the industry I dont feel engaged with the new AI paradigm So I'm a 45 year old dev trying to start my own company. GPT has helped me build my product and has freed me with time up to learn about marketing. I've been watching these guys on YouTube Kipp and Kienen. One of the things I'm learning is how important it is to get your message correct. My message is that people should stop expecting GPT to be an agent, since its not there yet, and they should use it like an employee where it carries out the knowledge work and leaves it to the human to untangle the ambiguity, much in the way a good team lead would. My thesis is that these chunks of labor that GPT can do are being seriously underappreciated by current programmers because they're worried it can't code.

  Excellent, (46 here), and I see it the same way. Software is not only code but representation and automation of repeating tasks. For this actions AI will be king soon (if not now)
