"Coding" has been a solved problem for a couple of decades now, in my opinion. If what you're after is producing a large amount of code while paying very little, that was always an option. The results were, as businesses who went down this route discovered, not satisfactory. Now LLMs can do this even cheaper and faster. But was this the problem? Is this the magic that was missing to move us forward? I don't know the future and can't say if you're wrong or right. But I do wonder what "more code, faster" is meant to address exactly. In my point of view, it depends how you describe your role. If you're a "coder" then yes, you can't compete with machines. I do have to tell you that we're in a bubble and probably in the shrinking phase of an economic cycle so it's all difficult now but you can't predict the future from this temporary phase.
