I'm a dev. In my company I am an early adapter of LLMs, it just so happened that i became the "AI guy" in my department. I was given a project to lead, a rather complex system. A lot of it i architected at the start, but as models got better i started outsourcing not only implementation but planning as well.
My team started delivering features with blazing speed. We are churning out dozens of PRs per day and they are being reviewed by agents.
Even though i am leading this project i have very vague understanding of what is going on. I haven't seen the code for a few months now. When someone asks me a question i give it to an agent and copy-paste response.
I used to have impostor syndrome but now i don't have a word for how to call it. I'm just straight up scared that someone will come up to me and start asking questions about how anything works in the project that i lead.
But then i have a feeling that i might not be alone. I see em-dashes in my coworker's responses, the "load bearings", the "push backs". I just assume that they had a discussion with an LLM and it put their thoughts in an organized manner.
But i don't. I can't have those thoughts because i don't understand what's going on any more.
I don't know what this is; a rant? No, i'm just hoping there is someone who is experiencing the same.
