Most senior SWEs, no. But most technical people in software do a lot of what the parent commenter describes in my experience. At my last company there was a team of about 5 people whose job was just to make small design changes (HTML/CSS) to the website. Many technical people I've worked with over the years were focused on managing and configuring things in CMSs and CRMs which often require a bit of technical and coding experince. At the place I currently work we have a team of people writing simple python and node scripts for client integrations.

There's a lot of variety in technical work, with many modern technical jobs involving a bit of code, but not at the same complexity and novelty as the types of problems a senior SWE might be working on. HN is full of very senior SWEs. It's really no surprise people here still find LLMs to be lacking. Outside of HN I find people are far more impressed/worried by the amount of their job an LLM can do.
