So when LLMs become "perfect" software developers are we just going to have them running 24/7 shitting out every conceivable piece of software ever? What would anyone do with that? Or do you expect every doctor, electrician, sales assistant, hairdresser, train driver etc. to start developing their own software on top of their existing job? What's more likely is a few people will make it their jobs to find and break down problems people have that could use a piece of software and develop said piece of software using whatever means they have available to them. Today we call these people software developers.

I started my software career by automating my job, then automating other people’s jobs. Eventually someone decided it would be easier to just hire me as a software engineer. I just met with an architect for adding a deck onto my house (need plans for code compliance). He said he was using AI to write programs that he could use with design software. He demoed how he was using AI to convert his static renders into walkthrough movies.
