The Future of Software Development with Large Language Models

In a future where the problems of using Large Language Models (LLMs) for writing code have been resolved, automation is expected to handle tasks like code reviews, writing tests, documentation, and naming variables. This allows human engineers to focus on significant decision-making aspects of coding. LLMs are envisioned to automate mundane tasks, freeing up time for humans to concentrate on more critical aspects such as coding standards and software optimization.
