> That problem leads to the final problem, which is that you need a senior engineer to vet the LLM’s code, but you don’t get to be a senior engineer without being the kind of junior engineer that the LLMs are replacing - there’s no way up that ladder except to climb it yourself I suspect software will stumble into the strategy deployed by the big 4 Accounting firms and large law firms - have juniors have the first pass and have the changes filter upwards in seniority, with each layer adding comments and suggestions and sending it down to be corrected, until they are ready to sign-off on it. This will be inefficient amd wildly incompatible with agile practice, but that's one possible way for juniors to become mid-level, and eventually seniors after paying their dues. Its absolutely is inefficient in many ways, and is mostly incompatible with the current way of working as merge-sets have to be considered in a broader context all the time.
