Make sure you learn a lot. Ask the LLMs to explain anything you don't deeply understand. With all of these coding assistants, there will be many juniors that get a lot done, but don't really understand what they are doing, and their worth will drop quickly.

So far LLMs are great at producing code, but not at architecture or maintenance.

Learning just by asking is not enough. One needs to exercise to build those muscles.

I'm just restating the obvious because LLMs can do exercise for you, but there is not much to be gained if one follows this path.

Who's to say that their worth will really drop. We already live in a world where security and performance are largely forgotten aspects when it comes to software.

Unfortunately I fear we will just enter an era of general slop where people get away with creating without really understanding. It sucks for anyone who is actually passionate and curious and really investing the time.
