With Agentic RL training and sufficient data, AI operating at the level of average senior engineers should become plausible in a couple to a few years.
Top-tier engineers who integrate a deep understanding of business and user needs into technical design will likely be safe until we get full-fledged AGI.
- yahoozoo 1y agoWhy in a few years? What training data is missing that we can’t have senior level agents today?
- nopinsight 1y agoTraining data, esp interaction data from agentic coding tools, are important for that. See also: Windsurf acquisition.
- DanielVZ 1y agoOn the other hand I’m pretry sure you will need senior engineers not only for designing but debugging. You don’t want to hit a wall when your Agentic coder hits a bug that it just won’t fix.
- nopinsight 1y agoThere’s a recent article with experiments suggesting LLMs are better at bug fixing than coding, iirc. It’s from a company with a relevant product though.
- eru 1y agoWhy do you expect AIs to learn programming, but not debugging?
- ZephyrBlu 1y ago1) Debugging is much harder than writing code that works 2) AIs are demonstrably much, much worse at debugging code than writing fresh code Ex: "Oh, I see the problem! Let me fix that" -> proceeds to create a new bug while not fixing the old one
- eru 1y agoDebugging is harder for humans, too.
