Don't you think people said the same thing C and Python? Isn't Python a lower skill than C for example?

Maybe. Are they here now?

No. Being able to solve a problem using Python over C is not even in the same class of being able to solve a problem by asking for it in English.

It can, but now you output must be a min of 2x.

Great! I turn from a creator to a babysitter of creators. I'm not seeing the win here.

FWIW, I use LLMs extensively, but not to write the code, to rubber-duck. I have yet to have any LLM paired with any coding agent give me something that I would have written myself.

All the code is at best average. None of the smart stuff comes from them.
