Never takes long for the “you’re holding it wrong” crowd to pop in.

That's a terrible reason for a mass consumer tool to fail, and a perfectly reasonable one for a professional power tool to fail

Partly true, but I think there's a real skill in catching subtle logic errors in generated code too not just prompting well. Both matter.
In my experience the differences are mostly in how the code produced by LLM is prompted and what context is given to the agent. Developers who have experience delegating their work are more likely to prevent downstream problems from happening immediately and complain their colleagues cannot prompt as efficiently without a lot of hand holding. And those who rarely or never delegated their work are invariably going to miss crucial context details and rate the output they get lower.
