- SirensOfTitan 8mo agoIt's the combination of factors. AI augmentation makes offshoring much more viable.
- jama211 8mo agoI… don’t agree with this at all.The bottleneck of offshoring was always in the other parts of the job, not code generation. It was in communication and feedback, and product and customer needs.
- SirensOfTitan 8mo agoLLMs are literally communication and comprehension tools. An offshore team with AI assistance can produce clearer English documentation, parse ambiguous product requirements more effectively, and ultimately close the feedback loop faster. This is the exact cope I’m talking about, as if these tools are just good at code generation and the actual work was always communication or architecture or something.
- jama211 8mo agoEhh, maybe a little. I don’t think the bottle neck has been prised open all that much yet in those areas
