Considering how much the craft has expanded - when in high school, I wrote an application for pocket for a small business in Borland Delphi 7. The domain knowledge I needed for that was knowing the programming environment, and a bit about Windows. Nowadays, like the rest of the full-stack 'web' developers, I work on complex webapps that use Typescript, HTML, CSS, Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, Postgres, bash, GitHub Actions, .NET, Node, Python, AWS, Git. And that isn't even the full list. And it's not even a flex, all of the above is used by a relatively straightforward LoB app with some hairy dependencies, a CI/CD pipeline + a bit of real world messiness. I need to have at least a passing familiarity with all those technologies to put together a working application and I'm sure I'm not alone with this uphill struggle. It's a staggering amount to remember for a single person, and LLMs have been a godsend.
