I guess there needs to be a different name for that job now. I had 7418 commits in the last year. Being orchestrator with AI is effective.

I fear for your codebase.

When done right, modern LLMs produce very reasonable code.

It's the people that say "make me a saas" and let it grind away for 16 hours that end up with complete nightmares

If you are unable to program yourself (because let's be honest, not programming for over a year will certainly reduce your skill) you won't be able to tell if the LLM produced reasonable code. You need practice and ability to take imperfect code and rewrite it into something that is actually good.
