It will also go in production because this is the most efficient way to produce code today

Only if you don't examine that proposition at all.

You still have to review AI generated code, and with a higher level of attention than you do most code reviews for your peer developers. That requires someone who understands programming, software design, etc.

You still have to test the code. Even if AI generates perfect code, you still need some kind of QA shop.

Basically you're paying for the same people to do similar work to what they do now, but now you also paying for an enterprise license to your LLM provider of choice.

The most efficient way per whom, AI stakeholders and top managers?

Sure, if you don't care about quality you can put out code really fast with LLMs. But if you do care about quality, they slow you down rather than speed you up.

It depends somewhat on how tolerant your customers are of shite.

Literally all I’ve seen is stuff that I wouldn’t ship in a million years because of the potential reputational damage to our business.

And I get told a lot by people who really have no idea what they are doing clearly that it’s actually good.
