Context is the bottleneck for coding agents now

We stopped hiring a while ago because we were adjusting to "AI". We're planning to start hiring next year, as upper management finally saw the writing on the wall: LLMs won't evolve past junior engineers, and we need to train junior engineers to become mid-level and senior engineers to keep the engine moving.

We're now using LLMs as mere tools (which is what it was meant to be from the get-go) to help us with different tasks, etc., but not to replace us, since they understand you need experienced and knowledgeable people to know what they're doing, since they won't learn everything there's to know to manage, improve and maintain tech used in our products and services. That sentiment will be the same for doctors, lawyers, etc., and personally, I won't put my life in the hands of any LLMs when it comes to finances, health, or personal well-being, for that matter.

If we get AGI, or the more sci-fi one, ASI, then all things will radically change (I'm thinking humanity reaching ASI will be akin to the episode from Love, Death & Robots: "When the Yogurt Took Over"). In the meantime, the hype cycle continues...

I mean, did you try it for those purposes?

I have personally submitted an appeal to court for an issue I was having for which I would otherwise have to search almost indefinitely for a lawyer to be even interested into it.

I also debugged health opportunities from different angles using the AI and was quite successful at it.

I also experimented with the well-being topic and it gave me pretty convincing and mind opening suggestions.

So, all I can say is that it worked out pretty good in my case. I believe its already transformative in a ways we wouldn't be able even to envision couple years ago.
