> However it is like having a team of 20 Junior Engineers working. If you know how to steer a group of engineers, then you can create high quality code by reviewing the code. You cannot effectively employ a team of twenty junior developers if you have to review all of their code (unless you have like seven senior developers, too). But this isn't a point that needs to be debated. If it is true that LLMs can be as effective as a team of 20 junior developers, then we should be seeing many people quickly producing software that previously required 20 junior devs. > but the model is "smarter" then a junior engineer usually And it is also usually worse than interns in some crucial respects. For example, you cannot trust the models to reliably tell you what you need to know such as difficulties they've encountered or important insights they've learnt and understand they're important to communicate. |
