> I regularly ship four features at a time now across multiple projects. Many people are missing the fact that LLMs allow ICs to start operating like managers. You can manage 4 streams now. Within a couple years, you may be able to manage 10 streams like a typical manager does today. IME, LLMs don't speed you up that much if 1) you're already an expert at what you're doing (inherently not scalable), 2) you're only working on one thing (doesn't make sense when you can manage multiple streams), or 3) doing something LLMs are particularly bad it (not many remaining coding tasks, but definitely still some). | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

A manager doesn't have to look at the code that's being shipped. An IC will still need to do that, and this will eventually take up much of their work. It can be addressed by moving up the stack to higher level and more strictly checked languages, where there's overall less stuff to review manually. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
