Junior engineers will be lost if they don't take the time to read the code generated by the LLM and really understand it. This is an objective truth. It has nothing to do with boomer takes.
People who "take the time to really understand the code" will rapidly be outcompeted by people who don't. You don't like that, I don't like that, but guess what: nobody cares.
I suppose we'll get over it, eventually, just like last time.
And I don't think there's anything to get over about them. They are useful but people elevate their significance too much over what they actually are.
