Maybe we're talking about different things?

That's one of the biggest benefits of software quality and the long-term investment: how easy is your thing to change?

Right, but that usually means higher quality software design, and less so the exact low level details of function A or function B (in most cases)

If anything I'd claim using LLMs can actually free up your time to really focus on the proper design of the software.

I think the disconnect here is that people bashing LLMs don't understand that any decent engineer isn't just going around vibe coding, but instead creating a well thought design (with or without AI) and using LLMs to speed up the implementation.
