I think it's interesting to juxtapose traditional coding, neural network weights and prompts because in many areas -- like the example of the self driving module having code being replaced by neural networks tuned to the target dataset representing the domain -- this will be quite useful.

However I think it's important to make it clear that given the hardware constraints of many environments the applicability of what's being called software 2.0 and 3.0 will be severely limited.

So instead of being replacements, these paradigms are more like extra tools in the tool belt. Code and prompts will live side by side, being used when convenient, but none a panacea.

Weights are code being replaced by data; something I've been making heavy use of since the early 00s. After coding for 10 years you start to see the benefits of it and understand where you should use it.

LLMs give us another tool only this time it's far more accessible and powerful.
