We are not using LLMs to solve the issues. We are using LLMs for speed. Like we were using VC funded speedruns for "speed". Quality was never even in the picture. We just added LLMs to the current setup for speed. Neither the structures, architectures or decision makings changed. We just added another thing.

I keep thinking about another thing as well. Software development might be the only place were stability is punished. If your software works swellingly well, there is less people needed. You'll lose your job when the software is stable. So you either need a new project or the software needs to be crappy enough. And the companies don't give a damn about you.

Keep in mind we did have WhatsApp created with just 32 engineers until facebook bought it. Lichess.org has 2 people working on it serving to the number of people it does (millions?). It's the way we are making it. "Move fast and break things"is the shittiest way to make software.

All of the above works when the desired outcome is money. Not when it is quality of the product.
