If LLMs are ever perfect we'll be able to say things like "build me a Fusion 360 alternative written in Rust. Skip all of the collaboration stuff though, I just want to store files locally."
This seems unlikely to me. However, the disruption this would cause for developers would be very much secondary to the disruption it would cause for several multinational companies who produce software as their primary product.

The part most people keep missing is that if LLMs are ever perfect, the actual sentence is,
"build me a Fusion 360 alternative. Skip all of the collaboration stuff though, I just want to store files locally."
Just like you don't usually say what kind of machine code the compiler is supposed to generate.
This is slowly the case in SaaS products with integration workflows driven by AI.

That's a very good point!
In fact though, you won't need that either.
You'll be able to give it a few drawings and/or pictures of objects and get it to output STL, STEP or whatever other CAD format you want directly, plus all the technical drawings. Refine from there.

That's a world of poverty. That's a cursed world, a world where people have abandoned their dreams and become slaves
