Converge towards what though... I think the level of testing/verification you need to have an LLM output a non-trivial feature (e.g. Paxos/anything with concurrency, business logic that isn't just "fetch value from spreadsheet, add to another number and save to the database") is pretty high.

In this new world, why stop there? It would be even better if engineers were also medical doctors and held multiple doctorate degrees in mathematics and physics and also were rockstar sales people.

But we’ve been here before. The agile movement originated as a response to the multifarious problems of big design up front.
