Exactly the point I was going to make. Shipping something requires knowing how to ship it, monitor it, and fix it.
Writing code is the "easy" part and kind of always has been. No one triggers incidents from a PR that's been in review for too long.
LLM's can help with all of the above. Deployed an app with a backend, frontend, docker database and more with gitea on my NAS just yesterday. Have little knowledge about how it did it. Now I have a git remote to which I push and the app updates itself.
I guess it works well until you hit a stateful failure. My concern would be Day 2 operations—debugging a database issue or networking partition without a mental model of the underlying architecture seems pretty painful.
