Sounds nice. We’ve got ~500 employees at our “site” (which is now distributed across 3+ states with remote workers), of those, about 8 do software development, so developers end up doing virtually all of the translation of customer “needs” to specifications / requirements. We also have a marketing department that changes their mind about twice as fast as the product development / delivery cycle.
you’re acting like the solution here is LLMs, when the solution is just hiring more people. LLMs aren’t ‘solving’ anything, they’re just masking the problem and allowing the millionaires at the top to keep making tons of money.
No, you’re imagining that’s what I wrote. LLMs are a tool, not a solution. A helpful tool, very helpful in some situations. The real problem that people and LLMs struggle with is: what should we be doing in the first place? LLMs don’t solve that, they do accelerate the making of a software thing when you know what you want that software thing to be. They also accelerating the finding of flaws during the process, enabling cleaning those flaws out faster.

That’s not a problem for tools to solve, that’s a societal problem that goes back to - at least - the start of agriculture.
