used to see 80-100 lines of good code per programmer.
seeing up to 2400 lines a day in 4 hours of deep work. LLMs will greatly reduce the amount of people required, mainly seniors. erode the path for junior training and put further pressure in an industry continually contracting since 2021.
the amortization of software developing as R&D expense among many years implemented by the IRS didn't help either
- tomrod 1y agoI think the amortization is the primary issue, TBH.
- ponector 1y agoI don't think so. Downturn is global, but amortisation issue is for a local market.

Lines of code is not a metric for correctness nor fitness of purpose. > LLMs will greatly reduce the amount of people required, mainly seniors. This is just high-grade speculative bovine excrement.
- TheCowboy 1y agoNot primarily the fault of the IRS, as they were just following the law passed in 2017 that didn't go into effect until years later. But there's a chance it gets changed back to the previous way by the same people who passed it.
- pepoluan 1y ago> LLMs will greatly reduce the amount of people required, mainly seniors Nope. LLM is unable to reason about correctness of code, since they only regurgitate code based on "most likely to come next". Rather, senior programmers will even be more important to check for correctness. And this will likely lead to senior programmer burnout.
