I doubt the need to manually address things. There is little that you cannot discuss and fix with the LLM.

I understand that many doubt this and would like to see evidence. The recent Photoshop clone, PhotoCraft, that gathered 200 contributors in a few days seems like a good example to watch. I understand it's currently around 500k LOC in Rust.

Let's see if their app is going to beat eg. GIMP.

I can, but there often enough changes I need that are easier edited by hand. Not that the skill is in applying a diff from brain to file - the skill I'm paid for is identifying that such a change is required in the first place.

I agree - let's wait and see. I think the outcome of prompting a model will vary wildly depending on who is doing the prompting. Natural language can only get you so far. And if I'm wrong - oh well, I guess I'll need to uproot my life.
