I'm extremely skeptical of this take. LLMs today aren't good at keeping significant context (even with large context windows) in such a way that doesn't lead to a spaghetti mess of code.

We're in a precarious spot where code is cheap to generate thanks to LLMs, but it's hard to build Good Software™ with only generated code. It's a pit of despair, of sorts.

If we can get LLMs to a place where that's no longer true, then writing code going away may be the new base case, but there's no guarantee we can extend LLMs that far.
