Software engineering is more information processing engineering. Code is just the shovel with which we build the trench. Everything is about data, and we build the things that control and process the data based on various events according to some wants and needs.
LLMs are more like a trench digger with a cat's personality. It can helps in some cases, but are more likely to destroy a field. And good luck if you have some difficult terrain to pass through.
I really recommend you try LLMs again if you haven’t, the last part is really becoming less and less true every day. But I 100% agree that this does not pose a risk to the software developer for all the other points you mentioned. It will just make that trench digger more useful to the developer that needs it. And they’ll still need someone to drive the digger.
