I think LLMs make programmers lazy more than anything. And when programmers stop programming for extended periods, they lose their programming skills. No surprise here. Use it or lose it.

I think a possible solution on both fronts (maintaining software quality, preventing skill atrophy) may be implementation of strict token budgets. Make the individual programmer choose how they are going to spend their limited tokens for the day/week. Provide just enough to use it as a plan/development/review tool, but nowhere near enough to just go full send AI vibe coding software factory slop mode all day long.
