Coding isn't the hard part. The hard part is translating the business needs in code.

You can tell a junior programmer "Make a DB with tables book, author, has Written, customer, stock, hasBought, with the following rules between them. Write a repository, for that DB. Use repository in BooksService and BasketService. Use those services in Books controller and Basket controller." and he will do a fine job.

Ask the junior to write an API for a book store and he will have a harder time.

Ask a modern LLM to write an API for a book store... pretty sure it'll be close to, if not better, than the quoted part of your comment.

It's hard to argue with the drastic jump in LLM capabilities.

This.

I write in Clojure and "coding" is perhaps 10% of what I do? There is very little "plumbing", or boilerplate, most of the code directly addresses the business domain. "AI" won't help me with that.
