The leader of an 80 person engineering company which has the two best devs I’ve worked with recently told me that for well-specified tasks, the latest models are now better than their top devs. He said engineering is no longer a bottleneck.
I expect that the leaders of many software development companies would report similar things, especially if they were talking to someone who might at some point talk to their board or to potential investors. I expect most venture-funded software development companies, and especially most that will not reach positive net revenue in the foreseeable future, have internal channels dedicated to “what we are doing with AI” that the leadership team is watching intently and passing anything even slightly positive on to their board.
