Agree with many of the points here, especially the part with one-off, non-production code. I had great experience letting ChatGPT writing utility code. Once it provided Go code for an ad-hoc task which runs exactly as expected on first try, when it could cost me at least 30 minutes that's mostly spent on looking up APIs that I am not familiar with. Another time it created an HTTP server that worked with only minor tweaks. I don't want to think about life before LLMs existed.

One thing that is not mentioned -- code review. It is not great at it, often pointing out trivial or non issues. But if it finds 1 area for improvement out of 10 bullet points, that's still worth it -- most human code reviewers don't notice all the issues in the code anyway.
