While I agree that LLMs can be useful for coders, and productivity can be increased, coding blindly based on ChatGPT code without understanding concepts could result in very serious bugs. How can you be sure that the code does not have vulnerabilities for example, or solve things in a non-idiomatic way, if you just copy paste code without an understanding.

As long as an understanding of the domain and problem is required a skilled person is required between the codebase and the LLM.

Even if we get to a point in the future where a programmer can be replaced by an LLM, we'll have businesses where they want someone to use the LLMs to create software.
