If those devs can't operate without an LLM, they weren't worth their salt to begin with. I find that most competent devs are skeptical of the tech, because it doesn't help them. But even among those who embrace it, they would get by just fine if it was gone tomorrow.

The industry is filled with people who just want to close their tickets and sign off.

And plenty of prolific programmers are writing publicly about their Ai use.
