In my opinion, it has always been the “easy” part of development to make a thing work once. The hard thing is to make a thousand things work together over time with constantly changing requirements, budgets, teams, and org structures.

For the former, greenfield projects, LLMs are easily a 10x productivity improvement. For the latter, it gets a lot more nuanced. Still amazingly useful in my opinion, just not the hands off experience that building from scratch can be now.
