Funny I should come across this. I am agreeing with op in a different way. The more the software work is proper engineering the less other factors dominate. Roughly speaking rank as follows: - safety/embedded (high) - algorithm intense - systems software development - compilers - other (low) If you're in other the organization's engineering culture, management culture, ability to work cross functionally, plus operations maturity will likely dominate what you can do fast, well. Worse it's bidirectional. In other even the ability to make a small improvement can be problematical because it engages how messy the code is, how well the requirements are known, and testing (beta, uat) is done, and how cdci works. The outside factors can make it a complete mess. In my experience the idea that llm fixes these the non software factors is zero. It's a tech solution to address a root cause outside it's scope and a fool's errand. I've worked at some decent plus companies. Since then I've worked for several that suck bad. The good company alas became a bad fit for my career objectives, but boy oh boy do i miss them.
