That's not true. I just wrote a similar comment about design coming first. If you've written software for awhile you just know what it looks like and which design patterns will be useful. Then when you see what your LLM says is the right code you can glance at it and see if it is even on the right track.

If you're trying to LLM your way to a new social site you're going to need to know what entities make up that site and the relationships they have ahead of time. If you have no concept of an idea then of course the LLM will be "correct" because there were no requirements!

Software design is important today and will be even more important in the future. Many companies do not require design docs for changes and I think it is a misstep. Software design is a skill that needs to be maintained.
