...which means you depend on the LLMs? Of course strictly "to save time". It's not like you are slowly forgetting how to start a project in the first palce or implement that db integration, right?
LOL why would I ever forget how to start a project or how to connect to a DB or make migrations and whatnot, brother generating a web form for creating and updating models is not that big of a deal. A LLM can do this while providing a11y attributes and proper styling in like 10 minutes. This includes creating a migration which I take a look at and correct if needed, creating the model, creating required policies, creating the controller endpoints which i correct in case its needed, creating a template file for the crud operations with search and pagination and whatnot while making it somewhat look good.
I can do all of this myself, but why would I waste 1-2 hours (per model) on doing all that myself if I can just instruct some stupid LLM to do it for me? It's repetitive boilerplate.
This is a weird thing to point out. I've always had to look up how to start a project even before LLMs, even with years of experience. With React there's vite, React router, nextjs, tanstack. With nodejs there's Koa, hapi, express, and tons others.
Most fullstack engineers are likely not starting a lot of new projects at work, and may only be doing it a few times for side projects, LLM or no.
