But most software isn’t critical and doesn’t need the level of reliability that’s sacrificed when using LLMs.

I don’t see the ops comment as a rebuttal. He agrees coding is not completely solved. However, it’s getting closer to being solved.



I don't think I really agree.

If anything, the core job of most software is to reliably and repeatedly do the thing a user wants. Bugs outside eof that are OK, but a software that doesn't Do The Thing is useless.

LLMs increasing bug density in exchange for more features is likely a terrible tradeoff for most software people use IMO.
