alt Hacker NewsMy prophecy is that in 3 years we'll see a complete reversal of this. Using GenAI to code will be the default and we'll see policies that put limits on human/artisan development. Possibly even projects that outright ban non-LLM development.

At this point, I wouldn't be too surprised if LLMs just get better at "write understandable, maintainable code" than most developers are.
For now, LLMs are still bad at it, but they're already at "competitive with humans" tier of bad. I expect them to get better.
I don't know the timeline, but I generally agree.
I think history agrees too, i.e. machine code > assembly language > high-level programming language > prompts.
Yes, I'm sure that insecure slop projects like Artifactory will ban human contributions.
Why would companies accept AI generated code, it they can generate their own (and review the prompt)?
It's like predicting that when compilers become more popular, accepting binary contributions will become the default.
