Even with increased prices, AI enables velocity both in development and bugs fixing. Would companies want that? If prices are biting the company, I think companies will route all development and bugs fixing requests through few superperfomer developers with complete knowledge of the different components within the company (they will be the Queen Bees holding the company on their head). The rest of the company will be tasked with requirment gathering, specs cleaning, deambiguation and so on (worker bees).

So kinda like how stuff is now at a lot of big companies? I've worked at many different companies and almost always there are a few out-performers and a lot of people just found enough not to get fired (no hate, power to them lol).

We're already seeing slash their AI budgets. I expect that will increase till we hit more of an equilibrium.

I think people will start measuring (features * time taken to implement) to tokens consumed ratio and then redistribute token budgets to developers. This will measure how effective/efficient people are LLMs.

What about human understanding of the codebase that's essential to any project's long term health? Even "superperformer developers" eventually leave the company.

Ask multiple AIs (if you can't trust one) to explain the project.

Most software development teams are pushing back on the deluge of bad changes from AI tools and are moving slower again to regain trust and stability. It is likely that future software development will not actually be higher velocity.

[Npovview]

Bad changes will be eliminated because better people are using the AI tools. They will reduce cost as well as slop.

Yes and we will all hold hands together singing and bring world peace from now on forever. Back in reality, I can see some obstacles without even trying

Do you want 60% of people to be employed in farming? I am being rhetorical because that is what you sarcasm implies. Today only 2% of people in farming support so many people in America.

The models are the same whether you're smart or dumb

[DougN7]

From what I understand, that is sort of how IBM Bob works - multiple models behind the scenes and they route the request to the model that will handle it best at the lowest price.

Or so they say. You'll have to trust those vibes blindly, because double-checking these claims apparently makes you an anti-science luddite.
