i'm trying to see what i can do to stay relevant

Aren't you making yourself irrelevant and the first group to be cropped out of the market or do you see others who don't use llms as much as dinos who will be filtered away first because your method offers more productivity?

I personally rarely have been paid for productivity. How fast I can put out features rarely earns me extra money. What people want is someone who understands what they want and finds a way to deliver when we agreed to and spots pitfalls along the way.

If LLMs are the best programmers then programming is obsolete so why do you want programming skills?

you need to be able to review what the LLM is writing.
