Not a dev, but as a DevOps engineer, I use LLMs for a few types of work:
1. A starting point for a problem I've no experience with - "How do I set up replication on a database". I won't follow it blindly, but it gives me a starting point to search online.
2. Helping me put together proposals and documentation. It's great at setting up an outline for things or rewriting my badly written things.
3. Writing regex
As for impacting jobs specifically, I havn't found any impact, yet. If anything, I've seen companies either put down blanket bans of using AI (for fear of people imputting sensitive data), outright banning the URLs on the VPN, or putting very strict policies in place with how they can be used.
