In essence, I need to schedule a meeting with the LLM and 'hammer out a game plan.' Gotta make sure we're 'in sync' and everybody's 'on the same page.'
Meeting-based programming. No wonder management loves it and thinks it should be the future.
LLMs are stealing the jobs of developers who go off half-cocked and spend three days writing 2000 lines of code implementing the wrong feature instead of attending a 30 minute meeting
That's dumb, of course, but sometimes people really just do the bare minimum to describe what they want and they can only think clearly once there's something in front of them. The 2000 lines there should be considered a POC, even at 2000 lines.
my manager has been experimenting have AI first right the specs as architecture decision records (ADR), then explain how the would implement them, then slowly actually implementing with lots of breaks, review and approval/feedback. He says it's been far superior to typically agent coding but not perfect.
