I've been programming full time with an LLM in an IDE for the last two weeks, and it's a game changer for me at the end of my career. I'm in future shock. I suddenly can barely live without it.
But I'm not fearful for my job, yet. It's amazingly better, and much worse than a junior dev. There are certain instructions, however simple, that just do not penetrate. It gets certain things right 98% of the time, which make me stop looking for the other 2% of the time where it absolutely sabotages the code with breaking changes. It is utterly without hesitation in defeating the entire purpose of the application in order to simplify a line of code. And yet, it can do so much simple stuff so fast and well, and it can be so informative about ridiculously obscure critical details.
I have most of those faults too, just fewer enough to be worth my paycheck for a few more AI generations.
