1. I made a prototype using LLMs 2. It worked so well! 3. Software Development is dead (just kidding, I finish the article by saying its not) 4. Everything we know has changed, my prototype proves it!

^^ Its been a rough couple of years with these kinds of upshots being constantly posted.

Yes, things have changed. Is the entire software development world about to collapse because of LLMs? Sorry, no. I'm impressed by the capabilities we now have at our disposal, but the LLMs still do a bunch of dumb stuff. Some of the worst bugs and edge cases I've dealt with this year were almost unnoticeable things an agent added. With that said, there is still a ton of juice to squeeze from this paradigm. I really just wish everyone would stop pretending the sky is falling.
