LLMs have definitely made certain tasks easier, and therefor let me build ou features I wouldn't have had time to before (i.e. the theme picker example from the blog post)... but I am increasingly finding myself susceptible to the "tumbleweed effect" you describe, where an LLM can start to feel like more of a crutch than a tool.
