I’m thinking about how that boilerplate isn’t going to move the business forward because it lacks domain insights, isn’t structured quite right, ignores the needs of the end users, and looks too much like the code conventions we’ve been trying to move away from (for example). Yes you can prompt your way out of that, but by the time you have you could have written the code yourself.
I have never been able to use a large output directly from an LLM. They’re useful for starting from nothing or tickling your brain when you’re blocked on something, but they’re nowhere near making me wonder what I’m doing with my life.
There’s so much more to software than code. I get that the final implementation is code, but the path to that delivery is incredibly complex. Especially with existing code belonging to relatively non technical teams. They need a real human to connect to them, their history, current and future needs, nuances of the teams’s capabilities, etc. AI is nowhere near serving teams like this, and I have a hard time imagining when that would change.
