You put it in a good way, I have been saying this for my partner that I don't fear my job is at risk. I fear I am going to hate my job soon.

I am coping a bit by still doing stuff by hand, especially stuff where prompting the LLM doesn't save that much time. And what I call "adding good taste" to LLM output where I move things around to structure them in a more human-understandable way (by hand usually).

My cope goes one level further, I’m already seeing incidents where poorly designed code (not necessarily purely “vibecoded”) has made it extremely difficult to figure out why a system is failing. Errors like “SegFault” and “Driver unresponsive” still exist, and so far even $100 of AI credits don’t seem to be able to solve those issues.

I’m already personally seeing the diminishing returns of AI generated code, especially in light of the increase in token prices (or tokens required per task, both are the same).
