Why not have the customer talk to an llm and iterate on the plan? Many customers will appreciate the 30m back and forth replacing the multiple hour meetings.
People are subtracting a lot of hard parts from their thinking, and think it's simpler than it is. What happens when the test suite isn't testing the real thing? The ci/cd doesn't even start? There is a bug requiring a hot fix ASAP? The code is growing into a nasty meatball and spaghetti dish, and the llms just turn shift it around. What about when the agent starts thinking in circles and neefs guidance to start working?
I'm not a ludite: I use llms every day, but I try not to be a meat proxy. Some one off scripts are vibe coded, but applications need real maintainable code.
My prediction for winners and losers: some companies will lay off a ton of programmers and replace with AI, with short term success but long term big problems. Other companies will use llms to boost productivity, but keep their engineers responsible for the health of the products. Short term gains won't be as impressive, but productivity will be higher and the company will be competitive in the long term.

- twister2920 2mo ago> They already do that, hence the SaaSpocalypse The market believes they will do that, hence the SaaSpocalypse. very important difference
- satvikpendem 2mo agoNo they already do do that. I know many companies building internal tools with LLMs.

- satvikpendem 2mo agoOne is verifiable, if you don't believe maybe you should ask others in the field too. Or maybe you're just wrong and won't admit it, clutching to your preconceived notions.
- twister2920 2mo agoif it's verifiable, I'd love for you to verify it. I don't consider hearsay a strong form of verification > maybe you're just wrong and won't admit it, clutching to your preconceived notions. I assume in your world this is only something other people do, but your judgement is perfect right?

My judgement is indeed perfect in this comment because, as I said, it is verifiable that it is happening, unless you think that no company at all is building internal tools with AI which would be the counter example to my claim that at least some are. Not even sure what your point is here, because your counter claim is nearly unfalsifiable unless you know every single company's operations in the world.
