Yep, and the productivity of LLMs means that experienced developers can go from idea to implementation way faster. But first someone has to understand and define a solid structure. And later someone needs to review, test, and integrate the code into this framework. This is hard stuff. Arguably harder than writing code in the first place!

It's no wonder inexperienced developers don't get as much out of it. They define a vague structure, full of problems, but the sycophantic AI will spew out conformant code anyways. Garbage in, garbage out. Bad ideas + fast code gen is just not very productive in the long term - LLMs have made the quality of ideas matter again!
