You might see it that way BUT there is very little research I have seen that shows that people without any coding skills can drive LLM code developers successfully - ie taking the basic output of requirements engineering, in English if you like, and just expecting a fully worked solution. So I speculate that what we have is apparent, stress apparent, productivity improvements for the coders that are left but where that productivity as measured by the normal metrics is coming out much less than expectations and that may in the medium term, because of maintainability, be even less. This is not to say I would advise cutting back on LLM coding but rather seeing it for what it is - more of a challenge than expected as it is now. The advent of more " agentic" LLM coding along the road Codex seems to be heading will change the perspective again. Anyways it's all good clean fun and I am off for cream cakes and lashings of ginger beer - tallyho.
