That's an extremely privileged take.

How? Cognitive skills and enjoyment of coding is not something exclusive to the privileged.

Most of us in the field have to produce software for money, and the economics of that have shifted to the point where LLM use is table stakes.

I can’t find a job at all. Hundreds of applications sent, all thrown in the trash.

To not use an LLM at all for software engineering? That’s just a joke. You can also deliver food with a bicycle. Good luck making a living doing that.

In what way? I see it as the opposite if anything, the rise of LLMs marks the first time programmers have been expected to spend money on tools since around the 2000s.
