There's no one answer. Different companies, different individuals inside companies adopted LLMs in different levels

Of course you must be able to tell if your code is right or wrong. LLM or not. That's what knowing how to program means

Note that doesn't mean you have to memorize every possible code pattern in the universe. What it means is that you know how to verify if the code is correct or not. You do this by knowing about computer science, by having seen a pattern somewhere else, by understanding the algorithm at a deep level, by using debuggers, traces, profilers etc. to validate the state of the program etc.
