Coding has become a very accessible commodity. In software engineering, code has become the cheapest output. This is due to LLMs being very good at producing structured text. And code is structured text. It s very well structured in fact. It follows type definitions, grouping, clear hierarchies. But does that mean we don’t need software engineers? Well we do. Firstly, coding and programming are different. I’ve briefly explained this in my previous post. Secondly, frontier models are very expensive to run in terms of energy. The models we use are largely subsidised. So, it will gradually become infeasible to access such models current prices and at current volumes if they raise the prices. ...
