alt Hacker NewsJust be glad that there remains a concrete benefit to not atrophying your mind and deeply understanding your code. For now. In the long run, I suspect the behemoth will become just as capable at debugging and dealing with complexity as humans. At that point, human involvement in the actual code will be pointless, and the only remaining human skill needed will be properly directing the agents – the skill those people are learning right now.
(I don’t relish this future at all, myself, but I’m starting to think it really will happen soon.)
The only future I see is that prompts will become so refined that you give them all the requirements an they write the code for ya. And that prompt language has to be unambiguous and so detailed that you loop around and re-invented a programming language, just this time it wastes tons of water.
