Current systems (e.g. Github Copilot) combine the LLM with static code analysis and compiler outputs to find and fix errors. They can also execute the code and run tests and compare outputs with expected outputs.

Am I misunderstanding something or does this sound like programmers making themselves unnecessary?

Only the very junior ones who are writing code without understanding why they've been asked to write it. Anyone with more than about 18 months experience will be able to start deciding what to actually build, and I haven't seen LLMs be particularly helpful with that yet.
