We already have this problem, even without the LLM-generated code. I see younger developers pull out all sorts of tiny libraries because a) they think it will save them time, b) they are insecure about the correctness of their code, and c) they often have no idea where to start when problems start to happen (solving problem is usually writing a github ticket or blindly trying another library).
I think LLMs will exacerbate the problem. These days I rarely see engineering spirit in figuring out how things work, willing to understand deeply OS or compiler internals, or even trying some crazy ideas, like "let's write a JIT to speed up our DSL".
