"IMO no one is better positioned to use these tools than software engineers"

Yes.1 where there used to be 1000.And they are the cream of the crop.Their time is precious because their skills are equally so.

Are you out coding the LLM's even now, or do they already do what took you weeks, in hours?

While you are scoping out the scene and hesitating whether to tell the boss you will have it in two or three weeks, LLM got it done 5 minutes ago.

Now off to the other massive LLM Super Code Reviewer.

The off to the Mega Brain Ultra talented human coding team of one or a handful for the human touch.

Are you the cream of the crop?

If not, start making contingencies ...or cope harder.

Wake up!

My goal is to cope until retirement
Lol where can I read this sci-fi book?

But seriously my whole team is using LLM tools and not a single person has been layed off.

Productivity doesn't even feel that much higher in terms of number of features shipped.

I think the reason is Amdahl's Law

Probably 40% of my job is actually writing code, so even if you speed that up by double its still a fraction of a fraction.
