Very respectfully this all sounds incoherent. You have also untastefully mixed in some concern over frontier labs having too much power - this is orthogonal to the discussion.

Your reckoning for when we will look back to this time and regret using LLMs won’t happen, as much as you crave for it.

- Here’s what will happen: agents allow you to understand less and less of the code (directionally) and allow you to focus on high level design.

- this won’t make it such that no one will look at code, just like some still look at assembly

- LLMs won’t allow you to never look at code (yet) but it pushes you in such a way that you may need to read less and less of your code

Also the fact that you have written about how writing code from requirements is an art. This is just not gonna be true anymore with LLMs. Very few in enterprise is writing artful code - they are getting stuff done. The art part is understanding the requirements and high level design. If you’ve ever worked in enterprise, there’s always a few people who nitpick on code reviews to artify code - these sorts eventually learn and forget this tic.
