Wait a minute, you didn't just claim that we have reached AGI, right? I mean, that's what it would mean to delegate work to junior engineers, right? You're delegating work to human level intelligence. That's not what we have with LLMs.
Yes and no. With junior developers you need to educate them. You need to do that with LLMs too. Maybe you need to break down the problem in smaller chunks, but you get to this after a while. But once the LLM understands the task, you get a few hundred lines of code in a mater of minutes. With a junior developer you are lucky if they come back the same day. The iteration speed with AI is simply in a different league.
Edit: it is Sunday. As I am relaxing, and spending time writing answers on HN, I keep a lazy eye on the progress of an LLM at work too. I got stuff done that would have taken me a few days of work by just clicking a "Continue" button now and then.
