I totally disagree with this, and that's because (like this blog post says) the output can't be trusted - you still need to review every line of generated code. The recent post I linked in another comment about the Cloudflare OAuth implementation had a catastrophic bug that would have been "game over" if the engineer wasn't such an expert in the field.

So it's like an architect but only if you need to triple check every nail, bolt and screw because otherwise the building will probably collapse.
