I tried LLMs for my postgraduate "programming" tasks to create lower level data structures and algorithms that are possible to write a detailed requirements for - they failed miserably. When I pushed in certain directions, I've got student level replies like "collision probability is so low we can just ignore it", while same LLM accurately estimated that in my dataset there will be collisions.
And I don't believe until I see LLMs can use real debugger to figure out a root cause for a sophisticated, cascading bug.
