> People coding with LLMs today use agents. Agents get to poke around your codebase on their own. They author files directly. They run tools. They compile code, run tests, and iterate on the results. They also:
Every once in a while I see someone on X posting how they have 10 agents running at once building their code base, and I wonder if in 3 years most private industry coders will just be attending meetings to discuss what their agents have been working on, while people working on DoD contracts will be typing things into vim like a fool
Forget LLMs, try getting Pandas approved. Heck I was told by some AF engineers they were banned from opening Chrome Dev Tools by their security office.
FWIW I think the LLM situation is changing quite fast and they're appearing in some of our contracts. Azure-provided ones, of course.
