Get ready for a bunch of unskilled people making the shittiest apps imaginable.
And I wonder how easy it will be to get Claude to create malware with just a few prompts…

As a developer I always enjoy asking these clowns why anybody should buy their products when AI will soon allow consumers to build these apps themselves, which is just a logical progression if you don’t need coders to create software.
I know of course that this isn’t going to happen anytime soon. It’s wishful thinking from their part and it shows a complete lack of understanding both what LLMs can and cannot do and what it takes to design and implement anything bigger than a batch script.
Edit: I also can’t help but feel personally offended whenever some corporate drone gloats about replacing developers. It didn’t happen with low-code, it didn’t happen with no-code and it won’t happen with AI. But it hurts every time.
I feel like this could be (opinion) the reason why Devin is trying to charge $500/mo for their tool. They know they only have a limited time window until a general-purpose agent from OpenAI/Anthropic/Google/… can directly do everything their product does. So they have to make their money while that gap in capabilities still exists.
My take: It’s either not going to happen at all (which is what I would place my bets on tbh) or it’s going to be something that only megacorps like Google or Microsoft can offer due to the enormous requirements of such a system, which would make most of those AI companies redundant, not just their devs.
I mean, project managers have been not caring about professional coders since way before the current LLM hype.
