I belive asking the favorite LLM to generate an executable will be the future, just like high level languages drove Assembly development into a niche.

Yes it isn't here today, just like it took several decades for optimizing compiler backends to do a very good job.

In fact one of the reasons why Matt Goldbolt created Compiler Explorer was to have a way to settle arguments he was having in the games industry.

> LLM to generate an executable

... and the job of a programmer will be to explain, in as precise terms as possible, what they need the executable to do. (Reminds me of the idea of programming based on a natural language.)
