Why do I want to write the same mutations or queries every time when it’s the same, when LLMs can do it and we can solve NEW problems not the same one over and over.

Code reuse instead of code duplication?

Technical debt is certainly down, because take me as recently promoted from Junior to Dev and my bosses hourly consulting rate would be £1000-2000 an hour then me asking less questions saves him a lot of time to actually do the higher level stuff.

'Technical debt' is not akin to financial debt. More AI generated code will result in more code that nobody wrote, thus nobody knows. Over time, people come and go, but the code stays with all the accumulated cruft. The spaghetti.

I find it interesting how you would question that my boss, literally the smartest person I’ve ever met in my life wouldn’t have done risk assessments and made a value judgement.

Sound like you are a junior dev, so how many people have you worked with for this to be a generally meaningful statement? It's also appeal to authority.

After all we get paid more now for less work.

The just getting it done attitude.

We don’t just get things done and we go above and beyond for clients. If we quote £50k for an application and we expect it to take 6 months and the client is still refining 12 months later then we do what is right by the client and don’t charge more.

Again, how is the financials an argument for AI's quality?

We have local councils, one of the largest phone providers in the Uk, and other massive clients that always come back for repeat business and recommending us to other people. We do not advertise and we are not short of work.

You praise your sales people here. How is this related to code vulnerabilities or maintainability? The projects still don't get billed by those metrics.

I have to wonder how many of these people saying LLMs are useless in this context actually earn money coding and how many just rant about it because it’s the trend here.

I've started working with LLMs integrating GPT-2 (yes there was no 3 yet) into a content delivery system. The LLMs still have the same fundamental problems, but the sound more coherent, that's all.
