I will say that by using ChatGPT, Claude, and Copilot I have been able to spin up from basically nothing and little to no understanding of the tech to a FastAPI and SQLModle BE, a React Native FE with working API calls, log in/out authentication and a bunch of app features in 5 weeks. Learning and growing, reading documentation and asking the LLM's for help and input. I again feel super productive but also feel a little like a sham as I did maybe 40% of the actual coding. I feel that the prompt engineering part is true but if the person prompting the LLM can't understand the code then eventually the LLM will break things and the dev will have to fill in. I feel that things will get more like this as time passes. Soon it will be engineers prompting LLM's for the actual code and preforming minor fixes to the code spat out.
