This whole situation painfully reminds me of the low-code/no-code boom from like 5–10 years ago.

Back then everyone was saying developers would become obsolete and business analysts would just “click together” enterprise solutions. In the end, we got a mess of clunky non-scalable systems that still had to be fixed and integrated by the same engineers.

LLMs are basically low-code on steroids - they make it easier to build a prototype, but exponentially harder to turn it into something actually reliable.
