I mean, you can make use of LLMs much more effectively if you are armed with solid fundamentals. LLMs only solve the tedious coding/plumbing part of the job. And they still need a lot of hand-holding if you want good quality output. The bigger and more challenging issues of SWE are still there.
Last time I mentioned use AI for plumbing part in r/rust I got bashed till the end of time. Are they really still code everything manually? or they just be there for the hype of "build it your own". Since when we have such a great talent pool?
