Nobody looks down on low level people. I can assure you that. But they are such a minority that common vernacular simply doesn't refer to them. That is a linguistic consequence of a practical reality; it is not a form of disrespect. In fact, most people respect low level people because it take much more skill and brain power to operate in that realm.
But LLMs are making a lot of your skillset redundant. That is ALSO a stark reality.
- cyclopeanutopia 5mo agoMaybe, so far it's the other way around - my low level team grew 2x over last year, we still have openings that we can't fill, and the amount of work still grows faster than what we can handle. LLMs don't help. And OTOH, what got redundant was the skills of people glueing together high level component, because apparently even open source models can do that part, as libraries and frameworks do all the heavy lifting.
