We’ll see what the future holds but as an old timer, using LLMs to creat applications seems exactly the same as:
Python/JS and their ecosystem replacing OS hosted C/C++ which replaced bare metal Assembly which replaced digital logic which replaced analog circuits which replaced mechanical design as the “standard goto tool” for how to create programs.
Starting with punchcard looms and Ada Lovelace maybe.
In every case we trade resource efficiency and lower level understanding for developer velocity and raise the upper bound on system complexity, capability, and somehow performance (despite the wasted efficiency).
- quantum_state 2y agoWell said .. Hope the pile of complexity accumulated would not be a time bomb ...
- lxgr 2y agoTo be fair, that ship has sailed years ago in many areas of programming, even without LLMs...
