The most difficult and time consuming tasks in my job as a software developer is talking to customers and figuring out what they need coupled with getting them to understand what is realistic and what is not. This is a process which takes months if not years, and requires aligning internal goals and tasks with external ones. LLMs can definitely help here, but I feel that the current mode of use where the users have to explicitly manage the tiny - relative to a human brain - context window is an obstacle. I don't know if what we need is a new architecture or just more clever context engineering, but I don't see an LLM actually taking over this type of work as things are now.
