What? The entire point of the comment you’re replying to is that the LLM isn’t designing the system. That’s why it’s being discussed in the first place. LLMs certainly currently play a PART in the ongoing development of myriad projects, as made evident by Copilot’s popularity to say the least. That doesn’t mean that an LLM can do everything a software developer can, or whatever other moving goalpost arguments people tend to use. They simply play a part. It doesn’t seem outside of the realm of reason for a particularly ‘innovative’ large-scale software shop to at least consider taking LLMs into account in their architecture.

The skeptics in this thread have watched LLMS flail trying to produce correct code with their long imperative functions, microservices and magic variables and assumed that their architecture is good and LLMs are bad. They don't realize that there are people 5xing their velocity _with unit tests and documentation_ because they designed their systems to play to the strengths of LLMs.
