I run a bunch of e-commerce businesses and am a freelance developer. LLMs have absolutely changed my workflow and what I can achieve. There is hype, sure, but underneath it are absurdly useful platforms that, for me at least, have replaced the need to hire digital marketers, copywriters and junior programmers. This is too useful to be called a fad and dismissed the way the metaverse or NFTs rightly have been.
How are you using it to replace junior programmers? What specifically?
I haven't found much besides tooling that answers questions (that are frequently right ENOUGH), write relatively small, targeted functions, add just a bit of IDE-embedded help, and...not much else.
...stuff that could speed up a few things, but nothing that would remotely replace even a junior developer
