> hairy realtime concurrent system programming
On the other hand, I’ve heard a direct quote from the longtime (25+ YoE) colleague of someone I know, that in their mostly embedded/some realtime work, the LLM code quality (specifically, this was about Opus 5.5 IIRC) has now surpassed his own. And that person is an excellent programmer, and the model is faster and cheaper!
So it’s definitely not just standard CRUD that is on the way to – or already – “solved”. As with all things, the truth is probably somewhere in between.
