Sounds like you’re easily replaceable.
by who? by a person who is capable of reviewing quality code? that is who they are already.
If they actually havent written any code then that means they didnt have to correct anything which means the LLM doesnt actually need them much if at all. Im assuming the post title is simply not true and they did indeed make some corrections and adjustments.
I guess they get the corrections and adjustments done by telling the LLM what corrections and adjustments to make?
if you ever vibecoded, you'd know, that using an agent doesn't mean you accept every suggestion. it does not also mean you edit the suggestions. it means you continue guiding the agent until it comes up with a "perfect" solution that may even be accepted without any edits. so if you are a good "prompter", given a good model you can be very very efficient without writing even a line of code. does this mean you can be replaced by the said model? absolutely not.
lol if that were true then yes there absolutely are replaceable by anything that can ensure they’re getting the right requirements. Of course it isn’t true, because LLMs are nowhere near the level of actual proper development standards but here we are.
By ChatGPT8 when you don’t need to review it anymore for the level he’s at.
Chatgpt8? Why do we need 8 when 5 was supposed to be utterly revolutionary?
Isn't everybody?
I’m on the fence here.
I’m still steering and guiding the design - with knowledge gained over many products, features and incidents - and am reviewing it.
To scale higher such that I could be replaced then I think the change sets would have to be smaller and/or we have perfected bug/incident detection and remediation such that we can bypass human review of the code.
