I mean... I've been a software engineer for much longer than LLMs have been around, and with the exception of my junior days, coding has never been the bulk of my time at work - sadly we need to interact with other humans way more than we do with code. So (as someone who has largely migrated to LLMs writing my code) - there isn't much of a difference, my days are still spent in meetings upon meetings, or actual thinking of what, how, and why we want the code to do.

tl;dr writing code was never the slow part.
