Soon most software devs will just be transcribing LLM trash to code with no concept of what's actually happening (its actually required at shopify now - MS is bragging 1/3rd of their software is written this way), and no new engineers are coming up because why invest the time to learn if there won't be any engineering jobs left?

I think that this is really the duality of LLMs. I can ask it to explain different database transaction models and it would perfectly explain to me how it works, which one to pick, and how to apply it.

But generated code by a LLM will likely also have bugs that could be fixed with transactions.

That's because it's glorified search. The postgres docs tell you that without risk of hallucination. You are correct that it won't produce code that does the right thing in that context though.
