And then there are actual good developers who could or would tell you that LLMs can be useful for coding, in the right context and if used intelligently. No harm, for example, in having LLMs build out some of your more mundane code like unit/integration tests, have it help you update your deployment pipeline, generate boilerplate code that’s not already covered by your framework, etc. That it’s not able to completely write 100% of your codebase perfectly from the get-go does not mean it’s entirely useless.

Other than that it’s work that junior coders could be doing, to develop the next generation of actual good developers.

If it’s boilerplate, copy/paste; find/replace works just as well without needing data centers in the desert to develop.
