My job is not to write monospace, 80 column-wide text but to find solutions to problems.
The solution often involves software but what that software does and how it does it can vary wildly and it is my job to know how to prioritize the right things over the wrong things and get to decent solution as quickly as possible.
Should we implement this using a dependency? It seems it is too big / too slow, is there an alternative or do we do it ourselves? If we do it ourselves how do we tackle this 1000 page PDF full of diagrams?
LLMs cannot do what I do and I assume it will take a very long time before they can. Even with top of the line ones I'm routinely disappointed in their output on more niche subjects where they just hallucinate whatever crap to fill in the gaps.
I feel bad for junior devs that just grab tickets in a treadmill, however. They will likely be replaced by senior people just throwing those tickets at LLMs. The issue is that seniors age and without juniors you cannot have new seniors.
Lets hope this nonsense doesn't lead to our field falling apart.
