Here's the thing. 99% of people aren't writing compilers or debuggers, they're writing glorified CRUDs. LLM can save a lot of time for these people, just like 99% of people only use basic arithmetic operations, and MS Excel saves a lot of time for these people. It's not about solving new problems, it's about solving old and known problems very fast.

Look, I get the hype - but I think you need to step outside a bit before saying that 99% of the software out there is glorified CRUDs...
Think about the aerospace/defense industries, autonomous vehicles, cloud computing, robotics, sophisticated mobile applications, productivity suites, UX, gaming and entertainment, banking and payment solutions, etc. Those are not small industries - and the software being built there is often highly domain-specific, has various scaling challenges, and takes years to build and qualify for "production".
Even a simple "glorified CRUD", at a certain point, will require optimizations, monitoring, logging, debugging, refactoring, security upgrades, maintenance, etc...
There's much more to tech than your weekend project "Facebook but for dogs" success story, which you built with ChatGPT in 5 minutes...
