If you are launching one product per day, you are using LLMs to convert unrefined ideas into proof-of-concept prototypes. That works really well, that's the kind of work that nobody should be doing by hand anymore.

Except, not all work is like that. Fast-forward to product version 2.34 where a particular customer needs a change that could break 5000 other customers because of non-trivial dependencies between different parts of the design, and you will be rewriting the entire thing by humans or having it collapse under its own weight.

But out of 100 products launched on the market, only 1 or 2 will ever reach that stage, and having 100 LLM prototypes followed by 2 thoughtful redesigns is way better than seeing 98 human-made products die.
