Fairly standard greenfield projects seem to be the absolute best scenario for an LLM. It is impressive, but that's not what most professional software development work is, in my experience. Even once I know what specifically to code I spend much more time ensuring that code will be consistent and maintainable with the rest of the project than with just getting it to work. So far I haven't found LLMs to be all that good at that sort of work.
