> it can even find bugs

This is one of the harder parts of the job IMHO. What is missing from writing “the code” that is not required for bug fixes?

LLMs can traverse codebases and do research faster. But I can see this one backfiring badly as structural slop becomes more acceptable since you can throw an LLM at it an fix the bug. Eventually you'll reach a stage of stasis where your tech debt is so high, you can't pay the interest even with an LLM.
