I agree, however there you don’t compare technical knowledge alone, you also compare managerial skills.

With LLMs its admittedly a bit closer to doing it yourself because the feedback loop is much tighter

Yeah... and besides managerial skills, also product (using the word loosely) sense, user empathy, clarity of vision, communication skills. They've always been multipliers for programmers, even more so in this moment.

Are they multipliers when you do less of it and offload more of it to the same tool everyone else uses?
