That's probably why a boundary (like MCP) is useful. Imagine maintaining the critical application logic the "old fashioned way" and exposing a MCP-like interface to the users so that they can have their LLM generate whatever UI they like, even realtime on the fly as they are engaging with the application. It's a win-win in my mind.

At this point, when people say this I just assume they’ve not used the latest models or haven’t invested time in learning how to use these tools properly.

There’s slop out there, yes, but in the hands of an engineer who cares to use tools well, LLMs allow you to move much more quickly and increase the quality of your output dramatically.

Have you even tried it? I don't know anyone who has seriously used the latest models and stuff like CC and still said that with a straight face.

strongly agree! can't see any use of LLMs beyond tabcomplete and navigating an unknown codebase.

Computers themselves are a fad.

The applications of MCP and tool-calling are vastly wider than just for coding, with tremendous diversity. Constraining it to the single application of coding doesn't make any sense.

Absolutely. But not for the reason you are getting at.

Because whem AI gets good enough there is no longer going to be code at all.

Which makes me sad, as a luddite.
