Poor phrasing perhaps, my point is that you the human should spend time and effort on the challenging and interesting things, and learning things that have lasting value. Not the boring, tedious and quickly irrelevant things.

Remember knockout.js? script.aculo.us? I do, but wish I didn't so those brain cells could know more SQL and vanilla javascript instead. :)

I also think LLM's are way more useful than you give them credit for. I save hours per week already and I'm just getting started in how to get the most value from LLM's. It's clear to me that my ability to phrase questions and include context matters more than which model I use.

To be clear I'm not talking about the cool-aid promises of one-shotting complex apps here, I mean questions like

"Give me a log4jconfig that splits logfiles per errorlevel and day"

"Look at #locationclass, #customerclass, #shop.css and #customerview and make a crud view for customers similar to locations"

"We are converting a vue app to react. Look at #oldvue1 and #newreact1 and make a react version of #oldvue2 following the same patterns"

"What could cause the form from #somewebview to pass a null whateverId to #somerepository?"

Questions like that are solved by LLM's at least close enough to 100% that it feels like asking a human to do it.
