A lot of what I'm seeing feels like LLMs are "perfect" bridge-to-nowhere enablers. They are the ultimate Yes Men and give upper management an impression that nowhere not only needs plenty more bridges but that the bridges are cheap to build and easy to use and may already have been built with magic strong enough to attract leprechauns and their pots of gold to the end of the bridges. Too much of my career has been in the "Legacy Code" mines, and the LLMs seem like the worst pipeline for expanding "Legacy Code" faster than ever. Some of them may as well be called "Legacy Code-as-a-Service". I'm not worried that my "Legacy Code" skills are going to get out-of-date, I'm worried they are going to be in higher, uglier demand when some of these bridge-to-nowhere factories finally get shutdown or at least slowed down for some of the real maintenance costs to finally show up on companies' bottom lines.
