> But the customer can also type a prompt and get a complete app that meets their expectations even better than yours. Your generated app is worthless. Your entire company is just a middle man between the customer and ChatGPT, and the customer can write a prompt just as well as you.

I just can’t fathom how a 10mloc financial engine that follows global regulations, has latency requirements, and tons of complex business logic that’s propriety, is going to be built via natural language.
Or how about flight computers for rockets?
Or sequences for MRI machines?
These might be obviously hard, but where’s the limit between viable and not viable?
- actsasbuffoon 2y agoAI absolutely can’t do the work that I do right now, but if AI keeps advancing then that gap is going to get smaller. And at some point, even if the gap is still pretty big, the never-ending quest to increase profits will drive companies to start laying developers off even if the AI isn’t quite ready. I work in a highly regulated industry. I hope that buys time. But I spend a lot of time worrying about how I’m going to take care of my kid if things keep moving at this rate.
