As with furniture, it's supply vs demand, and it's a discussion that goes back decades at this point. Very few people (even before LLM coding tools) actually did low level "artisanal" coding; I'd argue the vast majority of software development goes into implementing features in b2b / b2c software, building screens, logins, overviews, detail pages, etc. That requires (required?) software engineers too, and skill / experience / etc, but it was more assembling existing parts and connecting them. Years ago there was already a feeling that a lot of software development boiled down to taping libraries together. Or from another perspective, replace "LLM" with "outsourcing". | ||
