I too use multiple LLMs every day to help with my development work. And I agree with this statement. But, I also recognize that just when we think that LLMs are hitting a ceiling, they turn around and surprise us. A lot of progress is being made on the LLMs, but also on tools like code editors. A very large number of very smart people are focused on this front and a lot of resources are being directed here.

If the question is:

Will the LLMs get good at code design in 5 years?

I think the answer is:

Very likely.

I think we will still need software devs, but not as many as we do today.
