> and for a little more I can throw in the accounting and tax software

As someone who has worked in two companies that raised millions of dollars and had hundred people tackling just half of this, tax software, you are in for a treat.

Sure, that is still a ways off, but being able to hire a programmer to meet my personal modest software needs is almost there. Also, the needs of any company that required a hundred people and millions of dollars is very different from the needs of a small restaurant or the like; anyone with enough ambition to run a small restaurant can manage the accounting and taxes for that restaurant, the same can not be said for the sort of buisness you are describing. You are comparing an apple to an orange orchard.

Edit: Just noticed I said "any buisness", that was supposed to be "any small buisness." Edited the original post as well.

Business*, if your "tax-accounting" manager made THAT mistake with numbers you would be screwed.

Occasionally when right clicking on a misspelled word to correct it, I bump the track pad and accidentally add the misspelled word to my dictionary. Business is one of those words I apparently did that with. I have never been able to figure out how to remove words from my dictionary, but honestly never looked that hard, for some ridiculous reason I think people will focus on what was said instead of looking for nits to pick despite all the evidence suggesting otherwise.

I considered it may be a dictionary correction issue but i am sort've railing against the suggestion of current level LLMs being used for tax-software and POS design.

Edit: And if I was using C or C++ above my lack of capitalization would either evoke an error too OR passably continue foward referencing the wrong variable and result in a similar error to your transposition.

I said that was something which would happen in the future, as in not the current level LLMs. But this is what people will pay the programmer for, the programmer will (hopefully) know when and where the LLM can be used to offload the grunt work and where they should just skip the LLM and hand code it, those things the average person will not know, the full system and this applies to current level LLMs

In the future, this will be all voice controlled making most of our user-interfaces and expenditures on adapting to this intermediate stage moot.
