Right. I work in aerospace software, and I do not know if this option would ever be on the table. It certainly isn't now.

So I think this question needs to be asked in the context of particular projects, not as an industry-wide yes or no answer. Does your particular project still need humans involved at the code level? Even just for review? If so, then you probably ought to retain human-oriented software design and coding techniques. If not, then, whatever. Doesn't matter. Aim for whatever efficiency metric you like.

Not everyone works in aerospace engineering, though.

I would guess that >90% of all web crud can already be done better by an LLM managed by a decent developer, than purely by the developer himself.

Then again, would anyone have guessed we’d even be seriously discussing this topic 10, 20, 40 years ago?
