yes AI assisted workflow might be here to stay but it won't be the magical put programmers out of job thing.
And this the best product market fit for LLMs. I imagine it will be even worse in other domains.
This is the absolute polar opposite from my experience. I'm in a large non-tech community with a coders channel, and every day we get a few more Claude Code converts. I would say that vibe-coding is moving into the main-stream with experienced, professional developers who were deeply skeptical a few months ago. It's no longer fancy auto-complete: I have myself seen the magic of wishing a (low importance) front-end app into existence from scratch in an hour or so that would have taken me an order of magnitude more time beforehand.

In the end, it had written 500 lines, the problem was still there, and the code didn't work any differently. It worries me that I don't know what those 500 lines were for.
In my experience, LLMs are amazing for writing 10-20 lines at a time, while you review and fix any errors. If I let them go to town on my code, I've found that's an expensive way to get broken code.
For sure, and me neither, for what it's worth. But most of the code I write isn't "hard" code; the hard code is also the stuff I enjoy writing the most. I will note that a few months ago I found them helpful for small things inside the GPT window, and then tried agentic mode (specifically Roo, then Claude Code), and have seen a huge speedup in my ability to get stuff done.
