#3Note what's on the frontpage of the homepage:
> LLMs break traditional software development
> Develop your Prompts and Agents in code or UI
...
So of course the blog post is an ad, peddling what they want potential customers to think.
I don't doubt that we'll eventually come to a point where most code is written by AI, but that point is not at all where we are at right now, and for quite a while we'll need developers to drive the development process.

#4I mean...maybe. The title should be "Engineers are not needed for prompting LLMs"? Yes, LLMs can write code. But I don't think they are at the level yet to build and maintain complex and high-stakes systems with a few prompts.

#5PMs (generally) can't tell if AI wrote bad code.

Hi Hexator,
OP here. Thanks for the (harsh!) feedback, I'll take it in a growth mindset.
The post does genuinely reflect my experiences and I do believe what I said.How would you advise I change the post to make it better?
Which parts do you think are untrue?
Thanks!

Agree.

#8I’m SWE on a product and generally agree with this, at least for user-facing prompts. Once you’re walking an LLM thru OOXML it’s better done directly by ENG.
For tools, not clear how this works since as you adjust parameters and whatnot you’re also presumably changing the code downstream when you “execute the call”.
But probably both sides of this will be done by LLMs directly in the future. I rarely write or tune prompts by hand now.

Hi,
I totally agree that we're not at a point where AI can write most code. Though, I didn't ever say that. I just think its blurring the boundary between engineers and PMs with both taking on more of the others role.
Also, it shouldn't be surprising that the product we're building is aligned with what we believe about the world :)
