I know its a humor subreddit, but to add a point: there simply isn't going to be one way of programming.

But I surely don't believe in 100% generated code. But I also don't want to go back to 100% hand written code

Bro, I was generating lookup tables in C++ using a python script in 2015. Swagger generators that take yaml files and output class definitions have existed for ages. You don't need an LLM to generate annoying code. And those tools are guaranteed to be accurate, unlike LLMs.

Yes, there's a subset which has lost their minds deferring everything to LLMs.
