I think the more salient point is that going from writing assembler to C still required you to understand a lot about your machine, algorithms, how to debug issues, and in general it demanded problem solving skills.

LLMs eat away at all of these requirements.

Making things work demands problem solving skills. LLM or not. Perhaps one returns from the thoughtful debugging walk around the block knowing what question to pose to the LLM rather than what function to add logging to, but whatever. Everything is flux, this too shall end.

Perhaps, but as far as I've seen they don't make the requirement go away. They do make many types of development far more accessible, as an extension of how SQL or Excel make development far more accessible. Sure, people make messes with the tools available, and sometimes the tools can handle it and still give you something useful, many times it takes someone actually knowing what they're doing to clean it up though.
