2:16 The UI is really just a projection/transformation of data in flight and the backend is really just a transformation of data in flight to persisted data. Both well established repeatable patterns. The hardest part therefore is modelling the data in flight. The transformations to persisted data store or UI is just repeating the same patterns.

6:27 LLMs will never replace programmers because they are missing two important features. They don’t understand the actual AST of a program and they cannot make manipulations, transformations, additions, subtractions of that AST. When I say AST I’m not meaning the actual AST of single language, but the entire generalised concept of what an AST would be for a multi-language program like we see in web apps with SQL, backend code, over the wire serialisations, HTML, JS, etc, etc.

@HoD999x LLMs aren’t the only AI techniques. Maybe a sufficiently complex LLM could gain enough emergent properties to do it. However, I’m placing my money on different techniques that do the things mentioned in my comment more efficiently, simply, and cost effectively.
