alt Hacker News> I believe that LLM's are making traditional programming obsolete. In fact there isn't any doubt in my mind.
Is this what AI psychosis looks like? How can anyone that is a half decent programmer actually believe that English + non-deterministic code generator will replace "traditional" programming?
That's also my take, vibe coding as a non-deterministic 4GL. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth-generation_programming_...
4GLs are productive yes, but also limited, and still require someone to come up with specs that are both informed by (business) realities and engineering considerations.
But this is also an arena where bosses expect magic to happen when people are involved; just pronounce a new strategy, and your business magically transforms - without any of that pesky 'figuring out what to do' or 'aligning stakeholders' or 'wondering what drugs the c-suite is doing'. Let LLMs write the specs!
