You are not understanding what I am saying. I am saying its the calm before the storm before everyone realizes they are paying a bunch of startups for literally no comparative value given AI. First the agile people are going to get fired, then the devs are just going to go "oh yeah I just manage everything in my LLM".

I'll be here in a year, we can have this exact discussion again.

I understand what you are saying, I just don't agree with it.

"AI" is not going to wholesale replace software development anytime soon, and certainly not within a year's time because of the reasons I mentioned. The way you worded your post made it sound like you believed that capability was already here - nevertheless, whether you think it's here now or will be here in a year, both estimates are way off IMO.

Me too. Mostly so I can laugh though.
