Really interesting description of how one company is using AI in software engineering. The first order effects are productivity gains in code output, as well as enablement of previously non-coders to contribute to the code base. Second order effects - less need for junior developers (early career job search crisis) and tuning the code base for the AI. This is a form of standardisation which will eventually eliminate the human inputted intricacies in software, leading better quality software, better interoperability and reduced maintenance costs, as well as the mass production of ever more code. OpenAI launched their cloud based coding agent this -
Introducing Codex - s/w engineering changing faster than we can keep up with.
