The code is the mean, not the end. And you take care in it, because other people will work with it to handle changing requirements. One aspect of seniority is to know the tools to solve a problem, the other is to make the solution practical to maintain and adaptive. And this takes as much time as solving the problem.
I agree, still not really related to a thread that is about llms writing code. The llm and code are tools to address stuff my business deals with; I didn't say it does everything; we were just talking about the code part.
