My job as a senior developer with a team of juniors is to figure out what to write, sketch a PoC as guidance, and then delegate the actual implementation to them. I'm going to look at that, explain misunderstandings or poor style choices, and guide them into implementing something that meets our standards.

I don't think LLMs can do my job yet. But I think we're getting shockingly close to them being able to do the other part. And I'm worried how we're going to get more senior developers.

I think we are going to see the end of the agency model being entrusted with deep technical knowledge and concerns.

But we are also seeing the beginning of a new leaner type of business where senior specialists can now establish their own business remotely, with developers of all skill levels reporting to them from around the world.

This is a huge disruption that I think is going under the radar. Or perhaps is intentionally under reported cause it's a threat to the capitalist agenda.
