Even without LLMs, it was already getting tougher. There are just way more developers than before. To me, the game has shifted from just “knowing how to code” to being really good at something specific. General software work is becoming cheaper, while deep knowledge in a niche is still hard to replace. LLMs are speeding this up, but I don’t think they started it.
