Parent never said pure glue code, they said "a lot", which is roughly correct.
Any nontrivial business application will be on the order of ~60% glue, API, interface/model definition, and CRUD UI code, which LLMs are already quite good at.
They're also good at writing tests, with the caveat that a human reviews them.
They're pretty decent at emitting documentation from pure code, too.
The only way these models don't result in mass unemployment in this industry is if the amount of work required expands to fill the gap. Which is certainly possible! The Jevons Paradox of software development.
