I’m not surprised. It would be like being suprised by the favt that computers can generate a human portrait (which has been been a thing before LLMs), but people are still using 3d software because while it takes more time, they have more control over the final result.

We still have complete control over the code, because after the AI generates it, it's right there to tweak as we want!

But the point is, there were no assumptions or tooling or bad designs that had to be fought. Just an informal, high-level prompt that generated the exact code I wanted in a fraction of the time. At least to me that was pretty surprising -- even if it'd become routine for a while by then -- because I'd expect that level of wavelength-match between colleagues who had been working on the same team for a while.
