I feel like if anything LLMs have reduced coding/software to "throw as much as possible at the wall and see what sticks". It feels quite shortsighted and wasteful, especially considering that humanity needs to get better about how it produces and consumes energy. It's sort of bleak.
Which is a bit terrifying and removes the ‘engineering’ component of a critical part of the job, in exchange for slot machine / pray to ai gods…which comes with disconnect from the code, something I assume will adversely compound over time.
hasn't improved software either. it's made the overall quality worse if anything.
