In my experience, for the very generic software engineering tasks I have given to LLMs, they are decent at writing code and refining it until it works. Sometimes the code is even pretty good. They have gotten much, much better as of late (last 6 months), and now even DeepSeek's cheapest model is solid for the narrow purpose of writing code.
Now, this is not to say anything about the long term effects of this, where engineers have no idea how the codebase they are working on is structured, and all interactions with it have to go through the LLM, nor the broad negative societal consequences of using LLMs at scale, which would be far too long to enumerate in this comment.
