  The vast majority of coding isn’t making something new, it’s using existing patterns and tools and arranging them to fit a specific use case.

  I would argue that arranging something to fit a specific use case is making something new.

  Ask any designer how difficult it is to get a spec sheet from a client and meet their expectations. We’re expecting LLMs to suddenly solve this problem.

  Llms may not be able to create a new framework or design pattern

  Until they can do this, there is little threat to designers. There will be less grunt work, of course.

    Open source, libraries, frameworks and language development is how this is tackled.

    Making software is implementing business logic. It’s the specific nature of whatever problem you are solving which means you can’t use some existing off-the-shelf product.

    There are dozens (if not hundreds) of no-code/low-code app builders out there. Things like n8n or ndoe-red.
    They get very difficult to maintain at scale.
