The Evolution of Software Engineering and LLMs

This chapter explores the changing landscape of software engineering and the skill sets required for both traditional and new engineers, emphasizing the 12-Factor App Manifesto. It discusses the integration of large language models (LLMs) into development processes, including prompt engineering and continuous feedback loops for debugging. The conversation also highlights the need for unifying protocols in the LLM industry and the challenges faced by open-source initiatives like MCP in adapting to new business models.
