Hmm.

Using e.g. Claude code: I could see this as next step: "plain text editor" progresess to "with autocomplete"; using an LLM coding agent is then an abstraction over editing code.

Using e.g. LLM-based system: natural language is "higher level" than program code. -- The maximal reading of "LLMs are higher level abstraction and higher level wins" would be: in the future, we'll all be writing only with natural language, never running any compiled programs.

I can see "LLM based coding" as a lasting paradigm shift. But, I don't see "just give your text instructions to the markdown file" as something that will be the predominant way of programming.
