If functional code can be written and deployed by juniors using an LLM, then perhaps the required business logic isn't that complex after all. Ask them to write a device driver or a kernel module, or code a faster algorithm for, say, stock trading, and they'll soon see the need for closer inspection and manual coding.

The reality, though, is that for most CRUD / code scaffolding, what you need the most is good knowledge of the problem space and a solid enough foundation to ask LLMs for solutions. Because, let's not forget it, people with no coding knowledge whatsoever can't get functional stuff out of LLMs as fast as non-developers.

We need to get used to a world where augmentation means "getting rid of the boring stuff at the margins". There's no heroics in doing that stuff the old way.
