This is where I have found LLMs to be most useful. I have never been able to figure out how to get it to write code that isn't a complete unusable disaster zone. But if you throw your problem at it, it can offer great direction in plain English.
I have decades of research, planning, and figuring things out under my belt, though. That may give me an advantage in guiding it just the right way, whereas the junior might not be able to get anything practical from it, and thus that might explain their focus on code generation instead?
