Translating an idiomatic structured loop into assembly used to be an "L3" question (honestly, probably higher), yet compilers could do it with substantially fewer resources than and decades before any of these LLMs.

While I wouldn't dare offer particular public prognostications about the effect transformer codegens will have on the industry, especially once filtered through a profit motive - the specific technical skill a programmer is called upon to learn at various points in their career has shifted wildly throughout the industry's history, yet the actual job has at best inflected a few times and never changed very dramatically since probably the 60s.
