That itself is a learning experience. What is even the point of technical interview questions or take home questions? This means that I am now open to hiring completely non-technical person, as long as they have a good personality and management skills more than a competent developer.
"I understand the sentiment, but in a world where these kinds of problems (And problems at work) that can trivially be solved by LLMs; what kind of value can I provide?"
This is sad conclusion. Maybe you're more right than wrong, but my answer to the "value" question would be:
Solving even harder problems based on lessons from solving easier ones? Pretty similar to the trajectory in this blog post. Perhaps aided additionally by llms and other tools that can solve the subproblems so you can focus on the less obvious/automatable aspects of the problem?
But note the tension, only by being involved in the problem solving to some extent do you become better at it. So if your default is to say "An LLM can or will soon be able to solve it, why bother?", then your situation will become more desperate and your outlook more negative in a self-reinforcing way.
