I'm seeing things that are seriously alarming though. Claude can now write better documentation and document things 95% there (we're building a set of MCP tools and API end-points for a large enterprise..) - Claude is already either writing code or fixing bugs or suggesting fixes. We have a PM, who has access to both React and API projects, on our team who saw one of the services return 500; they used Claude to pinpoint the bug to exact database call and suggest a fix. So now, it's quite common for PMs to not only post bugs but also "suggested fixes" from the agents. In a not so distant future, developers here will be simply redundant since PM can just use Claude to code and support the entire app. Right now, they still rely on us for support and deployments but that could go away too.
Well, if they make the decision to accept the suggestion and it's wrong, that's on them. But if you do, that's on you. LLM? How can your boss blame the LLM? Like yelling at it?
This is the key factor. Sure you can ask an LLM to take the place of a professional medical doctor, but that's on you if you wind up making yourself worse because you didn't seek a professional. That PM would be fired if the code did not work out.
This doesn't really seem to be the point? Op is being prescriptive, talking about what we should do, not about what could be done.
Apply to anything else: you could eat out at restaurants every night, and it would do a great job in feeding you! Think of all the productivity you would gain relying on agential chefs. With restaurants even I can eat like a French chef, they have truly democratized food. And they do a perfect job these days executing dishes, only some mistakes.
I do love restaurants you're really reading right through me haha
