Your hypothetical high schooler would have to learn what architecture is, and then what self review is, and iteration, and manual testing... and what "code" and "software" is first. | ||||||||

This is something devs don’t give enough credit. You may think you’re just promoting, but ask someone outside the field to prompt their way to a feature and you will see very clearly what your experience is bringing to the table. | ||||||||

If it takes them more than a few weeks to figure out "Review your own output with a clean context. Check it for bugs, performance, and places where it doesn't do what the user wants", I don't know what to say. And where are you finding high schoolers that don't know what software is? Note, people don't typically need to understand the architecture documents that the LLMs generate, and will certainly be filling in the rest of the gaps as new models come out. The function of design docs is to make the LLM ask clarifying questions and fill in the constraints. | ||||||||
