These were normative arguments around a fear of what might be lost if these new technologies were embraced.
Key facts
- Sandor Nyako, Director of Software Engineering at LinkedIn who oversees 50 engineers, has noticed it proliferating throughout the organization and requested his team not to use them for "tasks
- Reviewing code is important, but it's only 50% of the learning process, at best
- Yet another Anthropic study showed a precipitous 47% drop-off in debugging skills — This is the sentiment being hyped up around the industry currently: traditional coding is all but dead, and Spec Driven Development (SDD) is the future
Summary
"AI does the coding, and the human in the loop is the orchestrator" This is the sentiment being hyped up around the industry currently: traditional coding is all but dead, and Spec Driven Development (SDD) is the future. The workflow takes many shapes at this point, but in general, it is a process where someone defines the project's requirements (simultaneously at a micro and macro level), generates a plan, and then pulls the slot machine lever over and over, iterating and reiterating with often multiple agent instances until it's done. Coding Agents are helpful, and powerful, but there's already some quantifiable trade-offs that need to be discussed:. An increase in the complexity of the surrounding systems to mitigate the increased ambiguity of AI's non-determinism.
