I agree with this. There's so much snake oil at the moment. Coding isn't the hard part of software development and we already have unambiguous language for describing computation. Human language is a bad choice for it, and we already find that when writing specs for other humans. Adding more humaness to the loop isn't a good thing IMHO.
At best an LLM is a new UI model for data. The push to get them writing code is bizarre.

That's actually a relief, when after hours and days of attending meetings and writing documentations, I can eventually sit in front of my IDE and let my technical brain enjoy being pragmatic.
