There was a time - prior to the 1990s? - when computers were very expensive compared to corporate drone salaries. A lot of techniques were developed to design and implement large-scale systems.
At some point, people will rediscover this literature and realize that the LLM can take the place of the corporate drones and that you can design systems that are arbitrarily large yet at any particular layer and component, the necessary context is small enough that an LLM can succeed.
Of course, at that point the question is going to be one of self-disciple and not falling asleep from the boredom.
- bediger4000 1y agoThe LLM generated code I've seen is extremely mediocre, novice tier. This reconciles with LLMs having ingested astronomical amounts of GitHub code. Let's be honest, that code is virtually 100% novice tier. LLM written code is therefore patterned after garbage. Will we be satisfied with garbage code everywhere?

- stockresearcher 1y agoFair enough :) However, I do think that we will see that project size is going to end up not being a constraint to producing shippable LLM-generated code. For better or for worse.
