I think LLMs are different because they are such a powerful developer technology. The most powerful I have seen in 25 years. Some engineers went from useful to useless almost overnight. Someone who is stubbornly stuck in their ways and refuses to use AI tools, and yet spends days failing to achieve what Claude Code can do in a few requests, well... what's going to happen to them? All of a sudden there's no work they can do, because the easy problems got solved by the AI. So it ends up being the manager's job, either find something that this person can do, train them up to use modern technology, or fire them.
