  I have gone through more than one cycle of automation already, and I'm not scared by the prospect of another. Most of the work programmers used to do back when I first entered the industry has long since been taken over by software, but there are far more programmers than ever. If a significant share of the work today's programmers are doing is routine enough that new automation can handle it, so much the better! Human programmers will simply move on up to the next level of abstraction, as we have done before, and get on with the more interesting work of managing the robots. I think my attitude is less "denial" than "cautious skepticism". I have heard many, many, many announcements of radical world-changing new technologies over the years, but as bright and shiny as the prospects appear to be, the realities invariably feature shortcomings and inconveniences and new problems that people then have to work around and deal with. I see no fundamental reason to expect that new LLM-driven automations will be any different.
