You’ve definitely seen that many companies progressed from “use LLMs for anything and everything” policies to limiting budgets and scopes of approved LLM usage. It wouldn’t be unexpected to see that some companies might decide that generating more code faster doesn’t meaningfully contribute to their bottom line, and forego LLMs in favour of human authoring, but does it ever happen?I’m not trying to point out any (de)merits of the new way of software development, I simply want to know if there are many/any companies that went back to the old ways.

After figuring out the exact product we need with some very quick development cycles with AI, we now have some problems that I can’t keep under control because of AI. So, currently under consideration to rewrite the core functionality without AI so we can keep it simple, understandable and slower to change.The interesting part is that AI could do this, but managing developers with AI has become very difficult to get them to slow down and build stable simple things.

I agree that we still haven’t figured out what’s the best way to use AI tools, but over the time it would mature and people would come up with patterns, conventions, and design principles so the quality of what is produced will be maintained or increased while keeping the productivity gains.
