99% of coders don't need to generate anything novel.

then what are they doing with the time savings from llm. generating more remixing ? is there really so much demand for remix slop. i dont think so.
I don't think I've ever worked on a project where there wasn't more work to be done than there was time to do it in.
ai can remix things on the fly so lots of widgets that were being stamped on are not needed anymore.

we are in middle state where ai tools to generate on the fly widget work arent accessible in the form that most ppl need. So programmers are currently doing the manual step by managing remix into easily consumable form.

My job is different from most developers these days.

But I'm writing more code than I ever did as a developer. YMMV
