I wonder why not more people are seeing it from this angle. My tech company is in southern africa, and I struggle to find the talent to fit my customers / the market’s needs. We can’t compete with salaries in the US or western countries in general.

Now, my average tech staff can actually solve challenging coding problems that before could only be done by the few talented ones.

It does not solve all shortcomings, but it definitely shifts the collective cognitive load in the company.

If the talent at hand isn’t competent to build it, they aren’t competent to debug or support it.

Why do you say you can't compete with Western salaries? If your customers don't want to pay what it takes, why the hell would it be your potential employees' responsibility to reduce their salary so you can offer this bargain? And since you are in tech, you can sell to the whole world. If your business can't get enough profit to pay for your workers, then the company should shut down the business as a failure.
