>I believe the argument from the other camp is that you don't need to understand the code anymore

Then what stops anyone who can type in their native language to, ultimately when LLM's are perfected, just order their own software instead of using anybody else's (speaking about native apps like video games, mobile phones, desktop, etc.)?

Do they actually believe we'll need a bachelor's degree to prompt program in a world where nobody cares about technical details, because the LLM's will be taking care of? Actually, scratch that. Why would the companies who're pouring gorrilions of dollars in investment even give access to such power in an affordable way?

The deeper I look in the rabbit hole they think we're walking towards the more issues I see.
