This article is a great example of how the human is struggling to extrapolate what happens next. There won't be any humans anywhere near this part of the tech stack, just like no one building a SAAS writes assembly code; or has to put together their own server cluster a datacenter (remember pre-cloud?) for their company anymore. He's dead Jim. No one is telling anyone to ship the ML code without any testing. Human coders also make mistakes. I'll bet that in a few years product managers / QA people would rather work with an ML stack to generate code than a human engineering team. It'll not just be cheaper and faster, but a lot less hassle & more accurate. As an example, Python has roughly ~100 or so "keywords", and extensive public libraries and open source algorithms to call upon. Anyone who thinks this presents any sort of challenge for an LLM to profoundly master is is delusional. They can do IMO-grade math, and help proving novel theorems. They can code your YC startup just fine.
- chrisloy 1y agoAuthor here - I agree and have written about this before, though focusing a bit more on how far down the stack they might go, rather than up: https://chrisloy.dev/post/2025/03/23/will-ai-replace-software https://chrisloy.dev/post/2025/03/23/will-ai-replace-softwar... Article being discussed in this thread isn't intended to be a luddite rejection of AI. It's just a mistake I see people keep making (and have made myself) and some thoughts on how to avoid it with the tools we have today.
- retinaros 1y agoPm and qa people would go before devs. Llms are already better pms than the best pms.
- yeasku 1y agoThey wrote: They can code your startup... Like the LLM was a person, lol.
- dkural 1y agoLLMs can code - different products. The plural of "It" is "They". Lol.
- yeasku 1y agoI didnt know, I am not native and have never seen it before Like for example nobody says: They cars can be fast. People usually say: The cars are fast. Or sometimes: Them cars are fast. But never: They cars are fast.
- dkural 1y agoIt's all good friend. I don't think I said "they LLMs" anywhere though? I think I just said "They can code .." etc.
