I agree, but lots of people think they are because they can get good results right now, and do not understand how that doesn't mean this approach will continue to work over longer time frames.

I think what we're going to see is that LLM codebases will end up at a point where the LLM can no longer successfully modify them, and are complex and convoluted enough to defy human understanding (with the exception of people who are being careful about the code structure, but you cannot do that, and simultaneously generate too much code to review). A similar danger to that of humans writing code without architectural vision, but amplified by the volume of code an LLM generates.

"They can’t even do human code reviews anymore as there’s too much code being generated" this is the ticking time bomb. I've been saying for a long time that writing code is easy; it's owning code that's hard. Designing an application to change and grow as future requirements arrive takes deliberate design thought. LLMs are not capable of that.

The Governess for sure. Anne Hegerty is a legend, so funny and so smart. And autistic too. And the best chaser according to some random website.
