alt Hacker NewsQwen3 Coder Next and Qwen3.5-35B-A3B already very good and can be run on today's higher end home computers with good speed. Tomorrow's machines will not be slower but models are keep getting more efficient. A good sw engineer still would be valuable in Tomorrow's world but not as a software assembler.

> Tomorrow's machines will not be slower
The way it's going, the AI hyperscalers are buying such a big portion of the world's hardware, that it may very well happen that tomorrow's machines do get slower per dollar of purchase value.

Not my experience. Current Qwen Coder is noteworthy but still far from good. Can't compare them with current commercial offerings, it is just different leagues.
Even cutting edge models are not very good. They are not even on mediocre level. Don’t get me wrong, they are improving, and they are awesome, but they are nowhere near good yet. Vibe coded projects have more bugs than features, their architecture and design system are terrible, and their tests are completely useless about half the time. If you want a good product you need to rewrite almost everything what’s written by LLMs. Probably this won’t be the case in a few years, but now even “very good” LLMs are not very good at all.
