I like your take, Matt. This is exactly what I have been doing, too. If you know what to ask for and can guide a model towards producing things that are useful, you save tons of times. Especially when you need to solve a problem that requires code you usually would need to think about for a while... just explaining what you want clearly can often get that in a single prompt + response, and then a few debug iterations.

The whole idea that "everyone is now a developer" and "all developers are the same" is simply going to be wrong for a long time -- the knowledge of how to build things in a good way (system architecture) that is maintainable seems more important than ever.
