There's this mistake Engineers make when using LLMs and loudly proclaiming its coming for their jobs / is magic... you have a lot of knowledge, experience and skill implicitly that allows for you to get the LLM to produce what you want.
Without it... you produce crappy stuff that is inevitably going to get mangled and crushed. As we are seeing with Vibe code projects created by people with no exposure to proper Software Engineering.

And I keep seeing products and projects banning AI: "My new house fell down because of the nail gun used, therefore I'm banning nail guns going forward." I understand and sympathize with maintainers and owners and the pressure they are under, but the limitation is going to look ridiculous as we see more progress with the tools. There are whole categories of problems that were creating that we have no solutions for at present: it isn't a crisis it's an opportunity.
- j3k3 7mo agoI personally think its better to be cautious and wait for improvements in tooling to rise. Its not always necessary to be the one to take a risk when there's plenty of others willing to do so, for which the outcomes can then be assessed.
