Receiving an absolute dung pile of half-broken implementation is honestly what I expect from most working software engineers. Now the step where they spend even a second thinking about what they are doing has been removed. My job as a principle engineer became doing most of the thinking for people and then providing the only worthwhile code reviews before LLMs became a thing. LLMs just made these people even less useful and my job became even more about reviewing their low quality work that I could have done in less time manually.

LLMs also don't solve the much bigger problem of most software engineers having no ability to work with others to clarify requests or offer alternatives. So now bad and/or misunderstood requests can be implemented faster.
