UnverifiedWhen the marginal cost of generation and execution approaches zero, what becomes scarce is no longer the speed of writing code, but the ability to turn vague requirements into acceptable tasks, and the judgment about the output.76% similarUnverifiedComplex code completion tasks often consume several times more tokens than simple Q&A, making it difficult to accurately estimate expenditure under pay-as-you-go pricing in heavy-use scenarios74% similarUnverifiedThe costs of the compiled approach include loss of flexibility, the need to recompile and re-validate every time rules change, and ambiguity resolution during the compilation step being the most difficult engineering bottleneck.72% similarUnverifiedCoding agents and personal agents have lowered the barrier to programming, enabling inexperienced newcomers to deploy services that may incur high costs without understanding the billing model.72% similarUnverifiedCreator Loulan put forward the judgment that the value of writing code will keep declining, and that in the era of large models the share of requirements analysis and solution design in projects will further expand while the share of pure coding work will shrink.71% similar
