I admit that my own feelings about this are heavily biased, because I _truly_ care about coding as a craft; not just a means to an end. For me, the inclusion of LLMs or AI into the process robs it of so much creativity and essence. No one would argue that a craftsman produces furniture more quickly than Wayfair, but all people would agree that the final product would be better.

It does seem inevitable that some large change will happen to our profession in the years to come. I find it challenging to predict exactly how things will play out.

I suppose the craft/art view of coding will follow the path of chess - machines gradually overtake humans but it's still an artform to be good at, in some sense.
