In short, LLMs don’t pose a serious threat to developer jobs at this stage, but they are undeniably useful in the hands of an experienced developer.

LLMs are fantastic at generating docs and tests, but they often go overboard. Ensure necessary coverage is met, and no more than that.

Adding an LLM instruction sheet or ruleset to your codebase is definitely recommended, so you don’t have to constantly remind it about your preferences or to check for certain things.

Sometimes LLM trains of thought are overly complex, and it takes a human brain to come up with a more elegant solution.

LLMs don't know what they don't know, and often need to be reminded of fundamental requirements like semantic HTML, accessibility, responsiveness, reducing complexity, etc.

Starting a project is blazingly fast, but going production-ready requires tons of time cleaning up and reviewing generated code.

LLMs are trained on old code, so they don’t always have the most up to date information. For example, when creating components in React 19, an LLM might pass a ref with forwardRef, even though this is no longer necessary.

LLMs love writing code, and err on the side of writing too much. You have to keep a close eye on things to maintain an efficient codebase.
