That theory is floating around on HN since a few month.
I find it appealing, to an extend.
Even if AI wrote most of the code, who check for completeness and is on prod support ?
I’m not 100% convinced that legal grunt work translate to software grunt work ( I don’t know about real engineering)
It may, but 20 years in that industry make me think that a legal PDF compiling jurisprudence is easier to “maintain” than any sizeable system.
That being said : it the AI output perfect, flawless and 100% up services, you don’t need human to know how the sausage is made. ( until it broke )
Question for you : what is engineering grunt work ? I’m not sure where I stand at this point. Working in giant structure make you feel like a cog, but I’m far removed from my earlier year problematic.
