I’ve been wondering why it seems like there’s a subset of developers who are extremely concerned about LLMs and then another subset who are embracing them with abandon. It seems like the two sets of people, working in the same field, should have similar opinions. This observation from Ben Wordmuller really hit it on the head.
It has the potential to transform all of tech. I also think we’re going to see a real split in the tech industry (and everywhere code is written) between people who are outcome-driven and are excited to get to the part where they can test their work with users faster, and people who are process-driven and get their meaning from the engineering itself and are upset about having that taken away. (This is not to say that there aren’t many issues with AI aside from these things, of course.)
