Everyone is talking about how AI is transforming everything. Firstly, it is not AI, it is LLM.

Yet there are two important metrics in software;
- Code surface area
- Confidence (i.e. tests)

I haven't used correct terminologies, but think of it like this. Decentralisation. Decentralisation is great, it empowers. Yet if one is trying to build a platform or entire system, hell - reporoduce it elsewhere, the more AI is used, the more amnesia occurs. The less centralised the codebase becomes.

The result is a mess. Almost impossible to control. Building small apps or utilities is the way development should be done but if you are a serious player, much of the current AI offering won't work. Building platforms is another thing altogether.

We use LLM all the time as experienced developers, but at the right time.
