If creation of customized software solutions is consistently getting cheaper and good enough in quality, the near future is about creating much more custom solutions for considerable smaller customer or consumer groups.

Mind that we still need people who understand tech and verify that a system does what it claims to do, in a safe and efficient way. Every non-technical vibe coder will at some point realize, that he maybe can prompt away every problem he has, but that is still considerable effort and also includes all the mistakes a professional already eradicated from his habits. Many vibe coded projects will also collapse under their own weight, rethinking a strategy - with tech in mind - is also professional effort.

Even if LLMs would produce perfect, high quality code all the time, instructing the "perfect" prompt is still a human problem. LLMs cannot mind read and fully understand the environmental and social circumstances. Understanding these things and model them into solutions, are also human problems.

All this still requires profound technical knowledge, even more now considering security is under fire.

What you point out is slowness once you hit the entry point. Go, or similar languages, as a server language platform could have solved that problem from a computational perspective. But it did not for the most part. In my opinion people choose the faster stuff because it's cool and they have more wiggle room to cram in to get back to the slow status quo.

Everything is overengineered, software or distributed architectures, sound to naive human logic but alien to computers. It's an cultural problem, development is so deeply entrenched into "business logic" that the minimal viable and computational economic solution isn't even on the table. I don't even think it has to do with cost or feasibility, it's just that your random e-com manager wouldn't know what to do with you, if a programmer really starts talking about hardcode tech stuff.

You comment was also just made invisible due to low rating. Which can be disabled in settings. So my fault thinking it was deleted.

In that sense an LLM wouldn't even think it "lied" being confidently incorrect, in human terms it's just a "whoopsie". Apparently we want exactly that.

Unlike the US gov in this post, they didn't slash projects with good intentions, they just changed and clarified the requirements.

Correction welcome, I am far away from canadian politics.

As a fairly above average person you can certainly adapt.

Then again, the question is, if the simple action needs to be changed, how hard will that be?

Back then every IDE needed minutes to load a tiny project and it was still much less efficient to open a file.

The hard part is that companies don't hire creative thinkers, but specialists. So you let people try stuff until you think something good happened.
