At first I thought this would be an interesting article, but as soon as they mentioned using an LLM to do the conversion I lost all interest. It's like saying "I wanted this done so I got my underling to do it, here is my story...". Like why would I bother to read it then, as it was clearly not you doing the conversion or putting any thought into it.

The biggest problem is the author didn't even bother to verify it. I've seen big multi-model ralph wiggum or whatevers do a conversion. Run for 6 hours. Upon manual inspection to understand how it handled some tricky calculations / logic I find stubs and hard coded truthy returns. So even if you ran a smoke test suite against it -- you'd think it successful...

The biggest problem is that this is software development going forward.

Programming languages don't really matter outside craft programming.

As LLM improve, it will eventually be a matter to specify in which kind of language the specification should be generated.

The UML and RUP crowd has had their vengeance.

That does not explain why people think their project that is 99% written by LLM is worth sharing.

It doesn't have to be, we have the power to change it by just not using LLMs to generate code-like text sequences.

But if anyone is having their revenge it is the "idea guys", not the UML jockeys.

		As long as upper management is measuring AI tools at work not much power is left. The whole idea with UML jockeys is that we no longer need brick layers, that is the whole point of software factory concepts, and stuff like Rational Unified Process. The only difference is using markdown this time around.

		That's an assumption. How do you infer that from written text? I can not infer that. To me it is super-strange that one uses AI to come to the conclusion that language x is better than language y. In the past people spent some time using both languages for a while, before reaching any conclusion. With AI it seems insta-gratification or insta-evaluation now. I am beginning to see why Google ruined its search engine for real humans - those who control AI rule the world now. People aren't even noticing this how dependent they are becoming on AI in general.
