The Y2K-level event for fixing the many many many mistakes of pure LLM coding without experts driving the things is going to be incredibly lucrative for some people. I’d guess in 3-5 years we’re going to see a whole boutique market around “shit I fired all of the devs and now my codebase is spaghetti (and linguine and angel hair and bow ties with some rigatoni and penne mixed in) to the extent that the AI can’t even try anymore”.

I’d guess this is going to happen in a lot of industries. At some point the undirected slop is going to clog things up to the point companies start folding over it, and then “Unslop LLC” is going to be the hottest shit for a while.
