Re: The gap in shared understanding of LLM capability is widening

Don't think the 0.2% really are in agreement that "large, complex projects that used to take them weeks/months can now be completed by agents with a prompt".

The divide seems to be between people who think you may need to understand the codebase for maintenance, potential future token costs, optimisation, code erosion & being wary of the assumptions/mistakes that they have seen LLMs make, and people who don't review code and are confident that the AI has made no mistakes and will be available for next-to-nothing forever.

It's certainly allowing the latter to move fast... but will their clients be happy if/when they break things. We'll find out soon, I'm sure.
