I'm in full agreement with this, and it's part of the reason I'm considering leaving the software engineering field for good.

I've been programming for over 25 years, and the joy I get from it is the artistry of it, I see beauty in systems constructed in the abstract realm. But LLM based development remove much of that. I haven't used nor desire to use LLM for this, but I don't want to compete with people that do because I won't win in the short-term nature of corporate performance based culture. And so I'm now searching for careers that will be more resistant to LLM based workflows. Unfortunately in my opinion this pretty much rules out any knowledge based economy.

Most code is unoriginal boilerplate that serves a business need. LLMs are very good at generating output that is 60-90% of the way there.

And I wish all the best with doubling down on that by generating boiler plate at scale rather than removing it
