I don't think LLMs make work easier. They make work faster, and that is "better" for companies and give workers an approximation of ease bc of the apparent lack of labour. You're still accountable for the output, which makes you a details reviewer, which I often find harder w/o the original labour.

100% - I fear that by the time we're in the "find out" stage where fast code needs to get refactored because everything is breaking, the engineers that could deal with it will either have turned themselves into prompt writers that just add another layer of detritus or have moved on to woodworking.

It feels close, but I am not high confidence. You can certainly use an LLM to find what you missed. I also really like the concept of broadening the scope across related fields or domains. We're able to debug things we've never seen before by prompting relative to something we have experience with.
