I rather think that LLMs help to write code faster, and also enables folks that would not program to do so in some capacity. In the end, you end up with more code in the world, and you end up needing more programmers to maintain/keep it running at scale.

LLMs don't care you have to maintain the code, they don't get any benefit or loss from their work and are unaccountable when they fuck up. They have no skin in the game.

They don't know the office politics, or go on coffee breaks with the team - humans still have more context and access. We still need people to manage the goals and risks, to constrain the AI in order to make it useful, and to navigate the physical and social world in their place.
