Ummm ... have you not tried using LLMs for coding work?

Not OP, but I have, and I'm not impressed. Perhaps it would be good if you are doing things in the training data (like churning out yet another bland website). But if you are doing things that are not well represented in publicly available code, or in unusual languages, then LLMs are not great currently.

They are great for finding the right ffmpg command line arguments though, and not having to deal with that mess must count for something.
