Those who value craftsmanships would value LLM, since they can pick up new languages or frameworks much faster. They can then master the newly acquired skills on their own if preferred, or they can use LLM to help along the way.

Any serious product often comprises of multiple modules, layers, interfaces. LLM can help greatly with building some of those building blocks. Definitely a useful tool for product building.

That's like saying those who value books would value movie adaptations because they can pick up new stories much faster.
Is it really so alien to you the someone might prefer learning a new language or framework by, gasp, reading its documentation?
