It has become impossible to tell managers mesmerised by artificial intelligence that the tools are not, in fact, helpful. So employees just play along with the fiction to keep their jobs, writes our tech columnist
The overwhelming majority of software development occurs on a team. You understanding what you’ve asked an AI to do doesn’t mean jack when you need to make sure an entire team can understand it five years from now. And LLMs tend to write code that is incomprehensible to another person the next day.
? developer can write 50 lines per day, LLM help us for some auto-complete or some easy 5 lines routine/functions, but we are not blind and do not accept them blindly without understanding them. And we have pull request and reviews etc and prior to this we have architecture and class diagram and SDD and acceptance criteria and all kinds of things.
You do think that in big companies a developer will use LLM to generate thousands of line per day by himself?
