While I agree with you that programmers increasingly relying on LLMs would be (is?) a problem, there is an element of neo-Luddism to this, as was excellently framed by xkcd[1] some years ago. Could we not choose to fill all that time we used to spend writing code on testing/verification instead? Or on performance, or documentation, or security? Or, to go back to the premise of the blog, on re-educating ourselves in the tools we use every day but don't actually understand? I don't know how the industry will adapt and I won't bother making predictions, but the future doesn't necessarily involve everyone becoming mindless code monkeys.
