And it has changed software engineering, probably permanently, right?
A lot of the, in terms of the...
the amount of time spent on you know actually writing code versus the other things but um but maybe not so fundamentally i mean people talk about this saspocalypse thing that every company is going to be writing their own enterprise software and i just don't buy it there's a very big difference between being able to cook up you know your own custom uh
purchase order software or ERP or whatever, and that works for your small business, maybe sort of, and the kind of things, whether it's compliance, whether it's scaling, whether it's reliability, all of these things which enterprises need.
I just cannot see every company
Building, you know, oh, software is dead.
We're not going to have vendors to do this that can promise us things that we need.
Right.
The other thing about this is, to me, if anything, it's it shifted what is valued in software engineering towards more senior level skills.
perhaps, right?
But it's not fundamentally changed what good software is or how to architect good software, whatever.
If anything, things like reviewing other people's code.
Well, today you're reviewing other people's code and you're reviewing a robot's code, but it's kind of the same skill, right?
I mean, so what maybe the balance before was a little more towards, okay,
Can you write code very quickly, accurately with, you know, this kind of thing where now it's like, OK, it's more towards can you review code very quickly?
But that's which is maybe a more senior level skill.
But it's still part of the software engineer toolkit designing good software.
What good software means, what good software looks like.
One thing that we found, I think, is that.
LLMs work a lot better when your code is well architected.
