Neither really solved the problem, reality is too nuanced, AI fills the gap.

Not sure if a non-deterministic copy-paste is really filling a gap ;)

But yeah, there are areas in software development where AI assistence is actually useful, I just see code-generation as one of the less useful areas, since tbh this isn't a problem that needs urgent solving. IMHO LLMs are much more useful for passively analyzing/bugscanning code bases (or data in general).

  • Absolutely, I give my agents access to MCP/API and they can check logs and setup checks for potential problems and whatever else
