I think another generalization people make here is around complexity. Many developers work on apps that just aren't that complex. Glorified CMS's mostly doing CRUD with well established code patterns.

Sure, LLMs might create slop on novel problems, but a non-tech company that needs to "create a new CRUD route" and an accompanying form, LLMs are smart enough.

I agree. I spent most of my career on complex distributed infrastructure. I spent most of my time reading and thinking, not coding.
