It's just a different way of writing code. Today you at least need to understand best practices to help steer towards a good architecture. In the near future there will be no developers needed at all for the majority of apps.
That just means the majority of apps don’t actually serve much of a purpose
What if the future of apps is serving a few dozen instead of a few billion?
Becoming a moron is a different way of writing code?

Software CEOs think about this and rub their hands together thinking about all the labor costs they will save creating apps, without thinking one step further and realizing that once you don't need developers to build the majority of apps your would-be customers also don't need the majority of apps at all.
They can have an LLM build their own customized app (if they need to do something repeatedly, or just have the LLM one-off everything if not).
Or use the free app that someone else built with an LLM as most app categories race to the moatless bottom.
You may be right, but for a different reason: the majority apps on Apple and Google appstores will be 100% AI generated crapware.
