Let me paint you a picture:
- During the dotcom crash (2000s) people had the same sentiments
- During the "offshoring"/"nearshoring" (mid-late 2010s) craze people had the same sentiments
- During the "no-code" craze (late 2010s) people had the same sentiments
Now with LLMs, people are going through it again. Through each transformative time in tech, very little has been "replaced" and if anything, the appreciation for well crafted/architected software has only increased in value.
