I can deliver 5k LoC in a day easily on a greenfield project and 10k if I sweat or there's a lot of boilerplate. I can do code reviews of massive multi-thousand line PRs in a few minutes that are better than most of the ones done by engineers I've worked with throughout a long career, the list just goes on and on. I only manually code stuff if there's a small issue that I see the LLM isn't understanding that I can edit faster than I can run another round of the agent, which isn't often.
LLMs are a force multiplier for everyone, really senior devs just need to learn to use them as well as they've learned to use their current tools. It's like saying that a master archer proves bows are as good as guns because the archer doesn't know how to aim a rifle.
