I would disagree with that take, actually. Perhaps I haven't yet figured out how to leverage LLMs for that (and don't get me wrong, I have certainly experimented as has most of my team), but I'm not discouraged from it.
I'm just trying to be clear-eyed about the risks. As an example, code completion tools in IDEs will cause me to get rusty in important baseline skills. LLMs present a similar sort of risk.
Are you preparing for some sort of cataclysmic world event that results in us living in a world where IDEs with code completion don't exist, and we're tested on whether we can code without code completion? letting those skills get rusty because other skills are being sharpened is not a bad thing. if they're getting rusty because you're not doing anything else, then that's a bad thing, but you can get yourself out of lazy mental traps, no matter where they are, if you're proactive and diligent, no matter the skill.
