Raw LLM Responses

In the future I do see AI getting better to the point it can generate a production grade application - with the big caveat that the prompts will have to be massive - you won’t just be able to go “hey I want you to create me tinder for pets” and it cranks out a couple of phone apps and a website for you. What I believe will happen is first people will realise prompts are complex, so we will start to develop standards of how to request things. It will need to be completely unambiguous and understandable so it will essentially just become another high level programming language. The people writing the prompts will still need to understand the software that’s generated so you’ll still need CS knowledge. But that’s not close at all. In the meantime AI is not going to be able to just be thrown at every legacy codebase and understand it by being fed the shitty documentation nobody has maintained in the last 20 years. Software engineers aren’t going anywhere
