I like to distinct between programmer and engineering jobs: first is the code ape, that LLM coul theoretically do (still too verbose though) with some hand-holding from a engineer.
The second is creating the solution; how A interacts with B on condition C in environment D.
Sad part is, with how broken the web currently is (each site has to implement every feature themselves), there’s lots of code ape jobs.
And btw, execs love LLM because they excel in the same task; creating lots of sentences with a minuscle of meaning and confidently asserting half-truths or outright lies. They have a “it’s just like me!” moment. But both are bad at creating solutions.
