In another comment I briefly mention one use case I have been implementing with LLM's: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42434886

I'm being vague with the details because this is one of the features in our product that's a big advantage over competitors.

To get to that point I experimented with and prototyped a lot using LLM's; I did a deep dive into how they work from the ground up. I understand the tech and its strengths. But likewise the weaknesses -- or perhaps more apt, the use cases which are more "magic show" than actually useful.

I never dismissed LLM's as useless, but I am as confident as I can possibly be that LLM's on their own cannot and will not put programmers out of jobs. They're a great tool, but they're not what many people seem to be fooled into believing that they are; they are not "intelligent" nor "agents".

Maybe it'll be a bit difficult for juniors to get entry level jobs for a short while due to a misunderstanding of the tech and all the hype, but that'll equalize pretty quickly once reality sets in.
