| > How will you tell AI what you want to build? If software engineers have been replaced, it won't be any of us telling the AI anything, it would be a manager. Ask a manager about Kafka, I recon more would respond with something about Franz than anything about Apache. > And if you tell it at a higher level than this, how will it know what tools it has available? How will it deploy stuff? Step 1. Ask it to come up with a plan, after giving it read access to your corporate documents. Step 2. Ask it to execute the plan it came up with in step 1, after giving it write access. Of course right now there's a step 3: "Get real engineer to read and then perform business continuity/disaster recovery plan because current AI is about as good at this as someone fresh out of university, what on earth were you thinking, …" etc. I don't know how long we've got in these jobs, but based on the rate of change (and the training cost for the larger models and supply shortage for the chips used to train the better models) I'm thinking at least 2 and no more than 15 years — though I'm hoping more towards the latter. |
