Huh? Do you mean people "building a startup" without any experience at all? The list of tasks in the comment you're replying to are well within the skillset of any software engineer that has that old job description classic "3 to 5 years experience".
Not to be rude, but if the code is the hard part for anyone, they never had a chance at the rest of it either.
Where did I say that you didn't need to already have the skillset in order to build something with it? It's just a force multiplier. And learning to use these tools effectively is a skill of it's own.
I'll never understand why folks on here look at this tech in such black and white. Of course it has no concept of logic or understanding. But if you do, you can bring out whatever is in your head out into code at 10x the speed.
When building startups you need to move quickly because usually you have quite a bit of competition. If you think you can build a startup by being slow and thorough and take years to produce an MVP go for it :) i don't think you will succeed

Yes, we all know LLMs can't write code worth a shit unless the dev guiding it knows exactly what they need.
You're the one insisting we don't type fast enough to keep up with competition. I am saying coding is not typing and problem solving is trivially easy if you already have experience solving those problems. Hence my original question.
There's never been anything slow about writing code even long before LLMs. The slow part is figuring out what you need to do. LLMs don't help you there.
