Software engineering is more information processing engineering. Code is just the shovel with which we build the trench. Everything is about data, and we build the things that control and process the data based on various events according to some wants and needs.

LLMs are more like a trench digger with a cat's personality. It can helps in some cases, but are more likely to destroy a field. And good luck if you have some difficult terrain to pass through.
