"Verbing weirds language", to quote the old C&H comic, but if "to Google" is now a legitimate verb, there's no reason "to LLM" can't become a legitimate verb. "Dilbert LLMed the new landing page yesterday afternoon and the PR is already up."

In late 2026 the role of the developer will be more or less redundant in any traditional sense. There will just be builders. Most non-technical people now are quite capable of building software with the right tools. And they build in the same way as developers.

A developer develops.
I think "develops" is a decent verb for the activity and it doesn't imply any particular development method.
