I have no idea what will happen in a few years, maybe LLM tech will hit a wall and humans will continue to be needed in the loop. But today humans are definitely needed in the loop in some way.
OK, so you successfully argued that replacing the entire engineering team is hard. But you can perhaps still shrink it by 99%. To the point where a sole founder can do the remaining tech role part time.
But the context of this thread is the idea that the user daxfohl launched that these companies will, in the next few years, launch an "engineering team replacement" program; and then the user eru claimed that this is indeed more doable in programming than other domains because you can have specs and tests for programs in a way that you can't for, say, an animated movie.
