One way to think of this is as the Baumol effect* within software development. Expert humans are still quite a bit better than LLMs at nuanced requirements understanding and architectural design for now. Actual coding will increasingly become a smaller and cheaper part of the process, while the parts where human input cannot be reduced as much will take up a larger proportion of time and cost. * Not everything here applies, but many will be. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baumol_effect https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baumol_effect
