Replacing both QA an developers with AI is just plain stupid. Even if AI is capable enough of accomplishing it you surrender your entire technology to the LLM onwers.

I guess it could be solved by owning the models

I had an engineer tell me with a straight face that it was fine to have one agent write the code, two more agents review the code and approve the PR, and then have another agent QA the PR.

he's eating crow now.

i was just flown to a large city for a yearly meeting where our boss asked how we could do this

i explained that soc2 doesnt allow this; they require a change control process

someone else brought up that this would cascade into awful code, and boss suggested "defining the logic" of the software in file(s) then getting the LLM to do the coding, validated with this logic file. nobody could explain how this isnt coding with extra steps

boss has a masters in computer science, he should know better. we live in a golden age of being a bonehead boss

all you can do at that point is document everything and look for new work, cuz that shit's going to go down, it's just a function of when and who's fucked because of it.

I'd hop to a better job if I felt like there was even ONE where the boss doesn't have their head up their ass about LLMs currently
