> Are we seriously pretending that it was always easy now that an LLM can spit out some mediocre code? This seems to me a coping mechanism in response to the industry shifting.
I also add that the skills required to write robust, bug free, efficient, maintainable, and readable code are also the same skills required to make LLMs generate code with those traits. Mediocre developers struggle to write mediocre code, but can easily prompt a LLM to output mediocre code. The output is always mediocre, both in the short run and moreso in the long run.
