I'm very good at SQL. I still use LLMs to write queries for me on a daily basis because they are faster at it than I am, and I can very quickly review their work to check that they didn't make any mistakes.

Same applies for JavaScript and Python and Bash and AppleScript and Go and jq and dozens of other programming languages.

If you're going to use LLMs as a productivity boost you need to get good at quickly verifying that they've done the right thing. Effectively that means investing more in QA skills and habits, which is generally valuable anyway.
