  • As much as I hate the concept, it works. However:

    1. It only works with generalized programming. (E.g. write a python script that passes csv files) For any specialized fields this would NOT work (e.g. write a DPDK program that identifies RoCEv2 packets and rewrite the IP address)

    2. It requires the human supervising the AI agent to know how to write the expected code themselves, so they can prompt the agent to use specific techniques (e.g. use python’s csv library instead of string.split). This is not a problem now since even programmers out of college generally know what they are doing.

    If companies try to use this to avoid hiring/training skilled programmers, they will have a very bad time in the future when the skilled talent pool runs dry and nobody knows how to identify correct vs incorrectly written code.
