Strong dependency? I can still code without LLMs, just an order of magnitude slower.

There is no dependency at all.

The dependency arises from rising productivity expectations from employers and the market.

A cabbie is still dependent on the car if they can still drive a horse buggy and order of magnitude slower.

You are only not dependent if you are not doing this professionally and can enjoy the leisure of tending to your horses.
