this is great for all the people who hate gluing together boilerplater and pipes. in my opinion, the hardest part of development is the "natural language description". gathering requirements, making sure everyone is on the same page with what is being requested, etc. if we're able to quickly generate prototypes from that language that greatly reduces the cycle time from ideation to prototype. what I forsee is that companies will need less developers overall, but more companies will bring in technical talent they wouldn't have otherwise, knowing it's that much easier to get working code


The trick will be whether the code generation works well enough most of the time, but if it generates some 1% weirdness that becomes a needle in the haystack. It seems to be it will be great for product manager/business person prototypes and potentially helpful for "hyper auto-complete" for a developer, but likely not for automating mission critical code.


we just need an adversarial network to generate unit tests
