It doesn't have to mean abandoning this career. For example, if you used to program because you love the details and the control, doing the same with LLMs and pretend it is still about details and control will make you miserable.

But you might be able to choose to leave that to others, and fill some other role in the development process where you don't have to pretend.

It will still be with LLMs, though.

That is abandoning the career.

Only for a very narrow definition of career.

Yes, but that other role is a change of career.
