Thought experiment:

Why can't you start your own 500-person company, but hire 0 people and instead have LLMs make up the difference?

I don’t understand your question, like start a company with a scope that would normally take 500 people? Or have a company with 500 people, and try to grow only through LLM’s and not hire anyone else.

Also I don’t understand what this thought experiment is trying to get at.

If you can't do that, how will LLMs replace software engineers?
