Summary

Discussing a figure from an essay on AI's impact on software engineering that highlights irreducible complexity and predicts evolution of software engineering, with DSPy cited as an early example.

My favorite part of our recent essay on AI's impact on software engineering is this figure. It succinctly describes the *irreducible complexity* of software predicts how software engineering will evolve. The most impactful AI-based software will adopt this mental model to empower SWEs for decision-making and delivery, while taking on a bigger chunk of execution. @lateinteraction's work (such as on @DSPyOSS) is a perfect early example.
