> LLM coding will split up engineers based on those who primarily liked coding and those who primarily liked building.

Who doesn't like building? Building without any thought is literally a toy, like Lego or paint by numbers. That's the entire reason those things are popular. But a game is not a job. Sometimes I feel like half the people in this career are children. Never had any real responsibility. "Oh, everyone writes bugs, who tf cares". "Move fast, break stuff" was literally and unironically the tag line for a company that should have been taking far more responsibility.

This trend isn't limited to programmers either. Wherever I look I see people not taking responsibility. Lots of children in adult bodies. I do hope there are some adults who are really pulling the strings somewhere...
