This is an aspect of LLMs that probably shouldn't be understated.

I'm working on a validation tool with a coworker right now. We are meat-proxying it into existence, using less than two exchanges per day of his LLM validator and my LLM authoring engine (we could consolidate, but he's got some context I don't have and it would take more than zero engineering effort to ship it to me when PR messages through GitHub are a good-enough channel).

If not for the LLM, the tool wouldn't exist at all because we can't justify dedicating much of any engineering time to building it. But LLMs drive the engineering cost very close to zero, enabling the authorship of code that would never find engineering cycles otherwise.
