What's with all these articles assuming some fictional reality that coding is replaced by LLMs now? Find me a tool that can build any software anyone wants to build, then ask yourself if you trust that tool to do your taxes for you (if you're in the US anyway), book an entire 3 week $10k vacation for you, manage your finances and set budgets for you, and so on.
What software does the author think people will build with these tools that's "fast fashion" style slop? Even assuming a non-coder wants some random one-off software for something, in what world would they ask a LLM to write it for them rather than look for an existing program that does what they want?
In the dev world, LLMs have proven that they cannot build production-quality software by themselves. They can build pretty demos maybe, but everything from Amazon's tool recreating prod to whatever the fuck the Windows devs are doing shows that trusting an LLM to work on real software will eventually backfire.
My work has been pushing BMAD method hard on us software engineers and while I do agree using those prompts, scaffolding, and alot of babysitting, you can get fairly good results - it takes more effort than actually just writing the code.
Devs are going to get lazy and stop handholding and steering the LLMs, and since we're now looping LLMs into code review, it's going to miss stuff as well.
BMAD? Be Mad? Bet my ass on drugs? Bro Man App Dawg? Business Minded AIDs Design?
Sounds worse than I expected, the name is just a cherry on top:
