Any person who has the ability to break down a problem to the point that code can be written to solve it, and the ability to work with an LLM system to get that work done, and the ability to evaluate if the resulting code solves the problem.

That's a mixture of software developer, program manager, product manager and QA engineer.

I think that's what software developer roles will look like in the future: a slightly different mix of skills, but still very much a skilled specialist.



I really want this to be true, but honestly it's really hard. What makes you think this won't be eaten too within the next year based on the current s-curve-if-not-exponential we are on?


I still don't believe in AGI.


Why? It feels like the spade of advancements post-o1 are shattering all remaining roadblocks to AGI.


Not the poster, but, for example, some people invested heavily in self driving cars (which could be seen as a subset of AGI) and it is much more limited than what we were promised.

My guess is that (as in most fields) the advancements will be more convoluted and surprising than the simple idea of "we now have AGI".
