Beyond the developer side of the hype that gets talked a lot, I'm witnessing a trend on the "company side" that LLM coding is a worthy thing to shell out $$$ to, IOW there is an expected return on investment for that $$$/seat, IOW it is expected to increase productivity by at least twice that much $$$.
Companies already have a hard time throwing away the prototype - god forbid you showcase a flashy PoC - and priorise quality tasks (which may need to run over a quarter) over product items (always P0), and in that ROI context I don't see that LLM-assisted trend helping with software quality at all.
