alt Hacker NewsBuilding quality software with LLMs is still very time-consuming. The vast majority of people are not going to bother, regardless of how low the bar to entry is, because time is not free. That and making software is not interesting to most people, for the same reason assembling electronics is not interesting to most people. It's a niche interest with limited mass appeal. For those two reasons, the software profession will survive AI.

You need a certain amount of thinking capacity at the user end to be able to understand, plan and envision a semi-complex functional software, regardless of who will produce it.
