If you prefer staying in denial, be my guest. But I've seen multiple instances of fully functioning software created by people who don't even know what code is. Maybe these creators are now developers, in a sense. But no SWE's were needed.

Sure, and I could buy a model rocket engine, strap it to a stick and launch it hundreds of feet into the air. Would that make me a rocket scientist? Next step Mars?

If you don't appreciate the difference between what an LLM or a coding agent can do, vs what a human can do, then I can't help you.

Most of the time, a hundred feet is enough. 30 years ago, if you needed an aerial photo shot, you needed a helicopter pilot. Today, you just don't.
