Ask HN: What is the current trajectory of a senior engineer?

A senior engineer wonders when the need for human involvement in software design will cease as large language models (LLMs) become increasingly capable. They speculate that companies like Anthropic and OpenAI could create and purchase datasets of good and bad architecture to train LLMs, making them capable of designing software on their own. This could lead to a shift in the industry, where the need for software programmer skills becomes obsolete, and product lead roles become more prominent.
