I think that's where a heck of a lot of the frustration on this topic is coming from. Some engineers claim to have solved the code generation issue well enough that it hasn't been the bottleneck in their local environment, and have been trying to pivot to widening the new bottlenecks for a while now, but have been confounded by organisational dynamics.

To see the other bottlenecks starting to be taken seriously now, but (if I'm to be petulant) all the "credit" of solving the code bottleneck being taken by LLM systems, it's painful, especially when you are in a local domain where the code gen bottleneck doesn't matter very much and hasn't for a long time.

I suspect engineers that managed to solve the code generation bottlenecks are compulsive problem solvers, which exacerbates the issue.

That isn't to say there are some domains where it still does matter, although I'm dubious that LLM codegen is the best solve, but I am not dubious that it is at least a solve.
