LLMs are a tool, a very precious one if you know how to use it.

I've seen Antirez use it for hard to find bugs in the Redis codebase (videos are on YouTube, albeit Italian), I've seen Cursor refactor in a matter of minutes code that would've taken hours, correctly, I've seen security researchers leverage it to find complex edge cases, etc

My 2 cents is that developers that won't learn to use the tools will be left behind (albeit not for long imho), but also, that sales people promoting the idea that devs can be replaced equally dangerous.
