LLMs bring new nature of abstraction

Read Original

Software thought leader Martin Fowler compares the impact of Large Language Models (LLMs) to the shift from assembler to high-level languages. He argues this is more than just an increase in abstraction; it's a fundamental change in the nature of programming by introducing non-deterministic tools, where the same prompt does not guarantee identical behavior each time.
