Presumably what is possible for a person with 6 months of experience is rather limited.

The idea as I understand it is that he achieved apps that he would not be able to write by himself, with the help of AI. That means that it is possible to have bugs that would be reasonable to fix for someone who built the app using their own knowledge, but for the junior they may be too hard. This is a novel situation.

Just because everyone has problems sometimes does not mean problems are all the same, all the same difficulty. Like if I was building Starship, and I ran into some difficult problem, I would most likely give up, as I am way out of my league. I couldn't build a model rocket. I know nothing about rockets. My situation would not be the same as of any rocket engineer. All problems and all situations and all people are not the same, and they are not made the same by AI, despite claims to the contrary.

These simplifications/generalisations "we are all stochastic parrots" "we all make mistakes just like the llms make mistakes" "we all have bugs" "we all manage somehow" are absurd. Companies do not do interviews and promote some people and not others out of a sense of whimsy. Experience and knowledge matters. We are not all interchangable. If LLMs affect this somehow, it's to be looked at.

I can't believe LLMs or devs using LLMs cand suddenly do anything, without limitations. We are not all now equal to Linus and Carmack and such.

I haven’t encountered any serious bugs - mostly because I know what I’m capable of and what Sonnet is capable of. I don’t tackle things that are far too ambitious and focus on ideas I want to experiment with or ideas I can build the MVP for

If I do encounter situations that Sonnet can’t fix - usually because it has outdated knowledge - I just read the latest documentation

Those things are not not even comparable in the quality output and if you see them as equals this seriously harm your credibility in this topic. This won't change in next decade+. For some use cases thats good enough quality, till you have any actual issues your smart code tools can't handle. Till people start suing you because your half-baked app caused them a real, serious financial loss and they have a true vengeance in their eyes (smaller companies or individuals often take such harm from outside very personally).

Any serious company paying serious bucks won't accept this, in 2024 they know darn well how bad software can bite massively back, some of them like banks or whole Silicon valley run whole business on software. But its true that there is a massive space outside such cases where this cca works, I've never worked there so can't judge.

> Everybody ships nasty bugs in production that he himself might find impossible to debug, everybody.

No.
