It's not at all clear to me what this has to do with the practical delivery of software. In languages that LLMs handle well, with a careful user (ie, not a vibe coder; someone reading every line of output and subjecting most of it to multiple cycles of prompting) the code you end up with is basically indistinguishable from the replacement-level code of an expert in the language. It won't hit that human expert's peaks, but it won't generally sink below their median. That's a huge accelerator for actually delivering projects, because, for most projects, most of the code need only be replacement-grade.

Why would I valorize discarding this kind of automation? Is this just a craft vs. production thing? Like, the same reason I'd use only hand tools when doing joinery in Japanese-style woodworking? There's a place for that! But most woodworkers... use table saws and routers.
