LLMs cannot replace what we do. Only AGI could do that, at which point you could say the same about anything. 'Racist' in your culture, not in mine.

Most of our engineers are hired because of their experience. They don't really tell us how to do things. We already know how to do it. We just want people who can do it. LLMs will hopefully remove this bottleneck.

We don't produce software for clients. We provide solutions. That is what they pay us for. Until there is AGI (which could be 4 years away or 400) there is no LLM which can do that.

It's our company, we own it. We are not 'some executives'. If someone develops an AI that can replace what we do and perform at the same level or higher, then I would gladly welcome it.

That might be the case if we were an organisation that resisted change and were not actively pursuing reducing our staff count via AI, but it isnt. In the AI era our company will thrive because we are no longer constrained by needing to fin

Not at all. We dont care whether the software is written by a machine or by a human. If the machine does it cheaper, to a better, more consistent standard, then its win for us.

Wrong. Because we dont just write software. We make solutions. In 4 years we will still be making solutions for companies. The difference will be that the software we design for that solution will likely be created by AI tools, and we get t

We have a very successful company that has been running 30 years, with developers across 6 countries. We just make sure we hire developers who know that theyre here to do a job, on our terms, for which they will get paid, and its our way o

I have no idea why you think you can't test a distributed system. Hopefully you are not in the business of software development. You certainly wouldnt be working at my company. Secondly, people are not just blindly having AI write code

Well, youre right to be skeptical because the majority of "AI" going on is hype designed for the purposes of either a scam, getting easy investment funds or inflating company valuations. But.. the capabilities (and rate of progres

Its his and his managers product, so yes. We don't care if they code it, don't code it, whether an AI builds it or a cheap Indian. Theyre still responsible.

Why? We fully checked the design, what he built, and it was fully tested over weeks for security and stability. Don't parrot what you read online that these systems are unable do this stuff. It's from the clueless or devs coping.

Beating humans isnt really what matters. Its enabling developers to design who cant. Last month I had a staff member design and build a distributed system that would be far beyond their capabilities without AI assistance. As a business owne

The only people saying this kind of thing are coders desperate to stay relevant. There is no future in coding. Its gone in a few years. Instead begin learning the skills required to work with AI to get it create what you want.

In my company I would have told him to start doing some work and getting stories delivered or he's gone. Yes, he's being useful in assisting others but I can easily find someone who can do that and their own work at the same time.
