Getting there faster with less knowledge of coding isn't the problem.

Pre LLMs, the main barrier to producing software for non-tech people was writing the code, literally. With LLMs, this barrier is now gone. This results in a much larger volume of slop than before. And then the real barrier shows up -- understanding, fool-proofing and maintaining that code. Code is cheap, show me how it runs in prod.

Like it's great that quants can iterate on their ideas much faster now. But GS is saying they shouldn't leave their sandbox.

Elephant in the room is QA, the thing that disappeared when Agile took over the world.
