There’s a scene in the movie Demolition Man where the lead character is being rewarded for his heroic life saving feats with … dinner at Taco Bell. Which he kind of questions – it’s food, but it’s not exactly the first place you think of for the “just saved the leader of our society” dinner. Except all<\/em> restaurants are Taco Bell. I guess the name applies to anything from a quick takeaway meal to an exquisite fine dining establishment. Similarly, I posit that eventually, “all developers are lead developers”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve been thinking about how prolific use of AI in development is going to change the job. It’s not like the system replaces<\/em> the developer – you still need someone to guide development. To ensure it meets the business needs. To make sure the AI’s code isn’t terrible (OK, not terrible<\/em> but I’ve seen some out there solutions generated). To integrate, test, and generally serve as the lead developer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I see people going from being a dev to a lead dev whose “team” is the AI. This change might be great for someone with some experience who is ready to be a lead dev. It gives you the opportunity to manage a team without having to talk someone into the management title change. Without additional headcount. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it certainly seems like it changes what “entry level” looks like coming into the field. I’m sure Uni will change to teach more of this … But, as it stands today, people coming out with CS or programming degrees are woefully unprepared for the way development jobs are working.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And I think more project management experience will be needed – how to efficiently guide your “AI team” to a reasonable solution. Playing around a bit, but a poorly thought out session incurred almost a hundred dollars in usage. Do some planning, craft well thought out prompts, and we got down to about five bucks. I don’t see much focus on AI efficiency … right now! It’s all new and the costs are obfuscated. But I see this becoming a major performance metric in the future.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
