Curious where others might stand.

My day to day “coding” is reviewing, revising and running plans against LLM/code-assistant tools. I juggle around 2-3 sessions of this on various features or tasks at a time.

If they actually havent written any code then that means they didnt have to correct anything which means the LLM doesnt actually need them much if at all. Im assuming the post title is simply not true and they did indeed make some corrections and adjustments.

    if you ever vibecoded, you'd know, that using an agent doesn't mean you accept every suggestion. it does not also mean you edit the suggestions. it means you continue guiding the agent until it comes up with a "perfect" solution that may even be accepted without any edits. so if you are a good "prompter", given a good model you can be very very efficient without writing even a line of code. does this mean you can be replaced by the said model? absolutely not.

    lol if that were true then yes there absolutely are replaceable by anything that can ensure they’re getting the right requirements. Of course it isn’t true, because LLMs are nowhere near the level of actual proper development standards but here we are.
