>And what do you even mean by "prepare"?

Not the person you're responding to but... if you think it's a horse -> car change (and, to stretch the metaphor, if you think you're in the business of building stables) then preparation means train in another profession.

If you think it's a hand tools -> power tools change, learn how to use the new tools so you don't get left behind.

My opinion is it's a hand -> power tools change, and that LLMs give me the power to solve more problems for clients, and do it faster and more predictably than a client trying to achieve the same with an LLM. I hope I'm right :-)

That's a good analogy. I'm on team hand tools to power tools too.

Why do you suppose that these tools will conveniently stop improving at some point that increases your productivity but are still too much for your clients to use for themselves?

Because I've seen how difficult it is to get a client to explain to me what they need their software to do.

		And so the AI will develop the skills to interview the client and determine what they really need. There are textbooks written on how to do this, it's not going to be hard to incorporate into the training.

Power tools give way to robotics though so it seems small minded to think so small? Have you been following the latest trends though? New models come out all the time so you can't have this tool brand mindset. Keep studying and you'll get there.
