Experts are overrated - especially at the top end. You end up with in-network people, which is different from having very good people. LLMs are useful because they're a diverse range of experts that are composable and immediate. We've never had something quite like it, and many people are still struggling to understand how to use it. Most of this talk sounds like the kind of denial that a lot of people on HN were doing when LLMs were first seen as a way to write code. Well, they do write code. They make us more effective, so maybe we need less of us in the future. Or maybe the pie grows because the kinds of things LLMs enable mean there are just more tasks developers can do, and so more developers are needed. Either could be true. The denial is built of fear. Also this guy's tone is pretty repugnant. Like, who thinks and talks like this? Seems comically retro. The only ones I know are those who derive their identity from money, whether they are rich or not. Mostly not. Ironically, a pretty poor existence. Edit: grammar checked with an LLM - not an expert.
