Find a way to work around it.
Everybody ships nasty bugs in production that he himself might find impossible to debug, everybody.
Thus he will do the very same thing me, you or anybody else on this planet do, find a second pair of eyes, virtually or not, paying or not.
The idea as I understand it is that he achieved apps that he would not be able to write by himself, with the help of AI. That means that it is possible to have bugs that would be reasonable to fix for someone who built the app using their own knowledge, but for the junior they may be too hard. This is a novel situation.
Just because everyone has problems sometimes does not mean problems are all the same, all the same difficulty. Like if I was building Starship, and I ran into some difficult problem, I would most likely give up, as I am way out of my league. I couldn't build a model rocket. I know nothing about rockets. My situation would not be the same as of any rocket engineer. All problems and all situations and all people are not the same, and they are not made the same by AI, despite claims to the contrary.
These simplifications/generalisations "we are all stochastic parrots" "we all make mistakes just like the llms make mistakes" "we all have bugs" "we all manage somehow" are absurd. Companies do not do interviews and promote some people and not others out of a sense of whimsy. Experience and knowledge matters. We are not all interchangable. If LLMs affect this somehow, it's to be looked at.
I can't believe LLMs or devs using LLMs cand suddenly do anything, without limitations. We are not all now equal to Linus and Carmack and such.
If I do encounter situations that Sonnet can’t fix - usually because it has outdated knowledge - I just read the latest documentation
No.
Hell, I don't even see it happening in OS space with dozens of eyes on years-long PRs.
It just happens.
At some point you'll write and ship a bug that you yourself can't debug in an appropriate time frame alone and needs more eyes.
Any serious company paying serious bucks won't accept this, in 2024 they know darn well how bad software can bite massively back, some of them like banks or whole Silicon valley run whole business on software. But its true that there is a massive space outside such cases where this cca works, I've never worked there so can't judge.
