LLMs even a version number or two ago can write all the code I've ever been paid to write in the last 20 years; but they are not, I think, yet competent enough to be able to handle the project planning and self-QA I was doing even in my first 6 months of my first job after graduating.

That's not a boast, I don't think I was particularly good at that back then, e.g. I didn't really get how to think about automated tests until much later.

It's just to say that no, coding and software engineering are not the same thing. "Code Monkey" is a dead (or perhaps "undead") role now, but it wasn't always so.
