Now... Now... Wait until they have to debug it

Or fix a simple syntax error. I've seen that a few times from juniors who thought they were too smart to learn, and it's painful to watch.

Yup, seeing that too. They're all proud of the work they didn't do, but the second there's a syntax error they panic.

LLMs excel at fixing typos. That's honestly the most useful aspect of them.

Which is also not a real use-case. Like, just check your work, you don't need a tool for that.

Hell I don't even use spell-check because it's just distracting, and it's a fundamentally wrong way to think about language.
