of all the possible arguments for using ai for software development, the "AI assistance has become a normal part of modern software development" one is so incredibly weak.
"everyone else is doing it" is a shit reason and you should be ashamed. boo!

I would read an alternate history series about software development without Taylorism.
My hypothesis is tech practitioners overfocused on artifacts as a vehicle for knoweldge (and then failed to make those too), while underprioritizing opportuinities for situated learning of tacit knowlege, which only came about organically through writing code itself and now they don't do that either

i think the profession model for software engineering in a world where production grade software is created by llm codegen for both development and hardening might look closer to the daily life and also pay grade of civil and mechanical engineers Paperwork & Meetings Wise but with less liability
Like many cases where AI exacerbates an existing condition, one thing going on here is the tech industry already massively failed as a business culture to engage in minimally effective industrial and organizational knowledge management with widepsread tacit knowledge loss driven by employee turnover

Software development could've and should've taken cues from many other industrial fields, and built up a culture of shop forepeople - non-management roles with responsibility for quality and safety concerns

it’s not “mysterious” that businesses dont give a shit about software quality, and that development is basically a completely unregulated and uncredentialed professio. Bone ape tite!

a lot of "technical" debates in software engineering function first and foremost as a theater in which to establish one's identity and only secondarily as disputes about the facts of the matters discussed. for instance talk of memory safe and unsafe languages, disciplined development practices,

This contract's fascinating because is it NoA internal? Is it to support development? Are they doing a media-based archival approach or software? Lots of exciting questions and directions!

“we can just rewrite all of our legacy software with agents”
i mean okay technically yes but how are you constraining the hungry ghosts…?
why weren‘t these constraints in place within the original software development process?
are you /just/ rewriting or also adding new functionality?
