Before LLMs you either built good abstractions to make it possible to not understand large chunks of the code base or you flailed.

A lot of the time people flailed.

The one thing Ive never seen an LLM do well is shape clean, coherent abstractions. To be fair it's a rare human skill as well but in LLMs if they don't have a direct analog in their training data they flail.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but the code I get from LLMs would not be considered acceptable to merge before we collectively stopped having standards. People are committing 900 line functions with sprinkled return statements and it's getting into production. If there are productivity gains to be had I haven't seen them yet
