During the outsourcing and offshoring craze a decade or two ago everyone hired cheap developers in India and eventually companies realized that that doesn’t work.

Now they’re trying the same with outsourcing to LLMs.

The bottleneck in software development isn’t coding.

It’s management and design.

This is an objectively provable fact.

But you know what's funny? If you actually think about it, there is one set of positions in a company that could be replaced with a LLM and it would take ages for anyone to even notice the difference. A set of positions that already make too much, so would save enormous amounts of money to replace.

I'll give you one guess who it is. Here's a hint: it's not the workers doing the actual work.
