been thinking about the key factors that lead to thinking LLMs as they exist now are replacement to programmers

1) misconception in how far a working demo is from production ready software, people without experience, think that once you have a working demo, that you are like 90% of the way done; when it reality you are more like 10%

2) its like gambling, sometimes, especially early, its possible to get good results, and so one ignores the diminishing returns, or all the times it didnt work

@ekis Case in point, I'm working on a personal software project right now, and I spent the last month carefully building a foundation that I can expand with additional features as I go. I had an architecture in mind, I knew where I wanted to go, and I built this with the larger context in mind. That's paying off now, and adding features is easy.

Ai literally cannot do this. The people bragging about their Ai velocity are shipping hideous spaghetti code. It'd be funny if it weren't so dangerous.
