You may have said it better than I, in shorter words. An LLM in the hands of someone with expertise is life changing, and in the hands of someone without it - it's a bit dangerous, but also wonderfully empowering, even if they can't make a good chair on their first try.

This matches my experience exactly. I came back to coding after 20 years away — the expertise I brought wasn't Go syntax, it was product thinking and architectural discipline from years of project management. That turned out to be exactly what the AI needed to produce something coherent and maintainable. The tool amplified what I already knew, not what I didn't.
