@narthur@hachyderm.io nothing much to argue with here. Kent Beck has recently reminded us that now, even more than in the classic XP era, “Teams accumulate code faster than they accumulate trust.” So I think the level of skill and discipline to reap economic benefits from LLM usage in software development must be even higher than before, because the temptations are more immediate and the downsides are better hidden.

I think LLMs are clearer wins in product-market fit spike-like scenarios, and then in the happy path they can also be pretty helpful for making valuable code that’s hard to change easier to change. But the temptations remain immediate.
