It is significant that LLMs in coding are being promoted based on a set of promises (and assumptions) that are getting instantly and completely reversed the moment the technology gets an iota of social adoption in some space.
"Everyone can code now!" -> "Everyone must learn a highly specialized set of techniques to prompt, test generated code, etc."
"LLMs are smart and can effortlessly interface with pre-existing technologies" -> "You must adopt these agent protocols, now"
"LLMs are great at 0-shot learning" -> "I will not use this language/library/version of tool, because my model isn't trained on its examples"
"LLMs effortlessly understand existing code" -> "You must change your code specifically to be understood by LLMs"
This is getting rather ridiculous.
