The skills that atrophy are the ones you weren't using anyway. If you let the LLM do the interesting/engaging parts, that's on you, not the tool

if it's able to do the interesting/engaging part faster than me, i don't see why i should not outsource to it (The same argument as why use LLM-assisted programming at all, you don't want to miss the productivity boost)

What then is your interest in avoiding skill atrophy? It sounds like you realize that outsourcing your programming work to AI will likely result in skill atrophy, but you are so happy with the results that you are okay with this. (And so are a lot of people! Not saying it's a bad decision.)

What change are you after?
