> Now code is ceasing to become a bottleneck and the current software dev process starts to emerge as inadequate

If you say so. It's a honeymoon period for executives and a lot of them already got a lot of cold showers. It's just a very uncomfortable topic but it is already happening. Maybe not in your org but I am seeing it already.

I am not against the new reality even if it were to solidify (which it will not; productivity gains as sold are illusory and plateau VERY quickly; we're talking days -- and contrary to what many on HN believe, not all work is pitch decks and rapid prototypes).

I really like the acceleration and removal of dumb grunt work. I love it. But the current LLMs, even Codex and Opus, _are_ doing dumb stuff even on max effort still. People get hyped up and overshoot as they always do.

It must be said that I've used Opus for some pretty high-level and high-quality architectural work and it did very well -- but it took a lot of effort and steering, leaving me questioning whether I wouldn't have the done planning and scoping better and quicker.

Frontier LLMs do very well but people give them too much credit IMO.
