My biggest problem with usage of an LLM in coding is that it removes engineers from understanding the true implementation of a system.

Over the years, I learned that a lot of one's value as an engineer can come from knowing how things actually work. I've been in many meetings with very senior engineers postulating how something works arguing back and forth, when quietly one engineer taps away on their laptop, then spins it around to say "no, this is the code here, this is how it actually works".
