> I see a different future. A future where software developers are approached by clients with requirements in the form of an LLM generated program. They do it because they are at a point where LLM fails to make new changes without breaking existing stuff.

That's not gonna happen :-/ I've already had clients tell me they only want it modified, and their expectation is that it's only a days worth of work to make it work.

Did they end up getting what they wanted?

This LLM stuff is still quite new; I wouldn’t be surprised if people are still asking for your help wrong.

How is what you're describing technically different than the quoted section? GP was correct, they just didn't realize that they were describing something bad instead of something good.

That is sad. But if what I imagine is true, they will grow wiser after they have lost enough $$$ with scammers who agree to do it in a day and pocket the funds and give back an even more broken program.
