I agree, this is clearly an indictment against LLMs. If LLMs and agents were capable they'd 100% write it natively but they realize the current limitations.
I second this, OP I do truly emphasize with your situation (I graduated right before the 2008 crash and had to join the Army). You should look into creating a startup or make significant contributions on a major open source project. Don't think that just because you're fresh out of school VC's won't be willing to fund you. If you're dead set on being a cog on a wheel feel free to send me your resume and I can give you some feedback.
I'm starting to realize that this is most likely what will happen. They'll be available in select major cities, for certain areas, under certain weather conditions.
