> LLMs, and especially coding focused models, have come a very long way in the past year.

I see people assert this all over the place, but personally I have decreased my usage of LLMs in the last year. During this change I’ve also increasingly developed the reputation of “the guy who can get things shipped” in my company.

I still use LLMs, and likely always will, but I no longer let them do the bulk of the work and have benefited from it.
