Ask HN: How Long Until LLMs Take Over Software Architecture, Too?
guitarlimeo · hn · 2026-10-14
An HN thread asks when humans exit the design loop: if LLMs are RL-maxed on code and math, what stops Anthropic or OpenAI from curating good/bad architecture datasets and training on them? The author argues 90% of pure programming skills could be obsolete within years, with people-skilled roles like product leads favored instead — sparking debate on whether architecture remains hard for agents.
