I think if this eventually happens, it would be a golden opportunity to hire the best talent at vastly reduces cost simply by giving such programmers a choice w.r.t LLM use.

This make sense to me. I didn't become a programmer for the $$$. I did it because I liked programming. If I no longer like what "programming" would become, I would no longer prefer to stay as a programmer by profession. I pro
