While I agree with this in the aggregate and I think this problem is likely to take care of itself for many companies - I can’t help but be frustrated with it right now.

It is unbelievably grating to have colleagues that are plainly over-reliant on LLMs, especially if they’re less experienced. Hopefully the cultural norm around their use gets set quickly. I can’t handle too many more PRs where juniors plug my feedback in to an LLM and paste the response

A long time ago there was a serious effort toward building programs from UML in the Java sphere, with the ideals of explaining the system what needs to be done and have it spit out a solution, potentially from pre-made blocks.

That philosophy never died and will probably keep living on eternally, perhaps until it somedays becomes a realistic option, who knows ?

Many companies see it as the utopia, and won't have any strong rejection of programmers sharing that ideal.

The issue comes 5-10 years from now when there’s a serious shortage of senior devs.

I mean… as a senior dev now, I’m not complaining, but it can’t be good for the industry at large.
