It's becoming increasingly evident this is not how things are going to shake out. Even without frontier models, running Qwen 3.8 27B has demonstrated for me and others a "good enough" competency at general programming. Additionally, large open weight models have proven themselves as viable alternatives and we're still in the early years of dedicated hardware
I'm not saying developing with LLMs is the same as network engineering. The point being that almost all professions have some point of failures, that sometimes when we work, that single point is broken, yet we need to continue working anyway. Same goes for every professional almost.
