Governments and tech moguls have bet hundreds of billions on artificial intelligence. If the technology does what it promises, we will have to radically rethink how the global economy functions.
Definitely one of the weaknesses is: what about maintenance? Ai has been poor at maintaining existing code, and we all know that maintenance is much more expensive than development. Will it be able to maintain its own code? What if there are no longer enough developers to do it manually? Where is our future then?
I’ve definitely been adding priority to refactoring. It was always a good idea for maintainability, for new developers to get up to speed and be able to contribute, but now we have the idiot developer that is LLMs. Perhaps more refactoring is meeting it halfway
