> How do I feel, about all the code I wrote that was ingested by LLMs? I feel great to be part of that, because I see this as a continuation of what I tried to do all my life: democratizing code, systems, knowledge. LLMs are going to help us to write better software, faster, and will allow small teams to have a chance to compete with bigger companies.

You might feel great, thats fine, but I dont. And software quality is going down, I wouldn't agree that LLMs will help write better software

Your statement makes no sense.

Even if you don't let LLMs author a single line of your code, they can still review it, find edge cases you didn't think about or suggest different approaches.

The fact that AI allows lots of slop, does not negate its overall utility in good informed hands.
