I think that's an optimistic interpretation of how good LLMs are?

But I think the reality is: LLMs democratise access to coding. In a way this decreases the market for complete solutions, but massively increases the audience for building blocks.

Closed-source models aren't "democratizing" access to anything. If you wanted to hire a contractor to write some code for you, that's always been possible.

I didn't know Mistral, Z.ai, Qwen, and Deepseek were all fascist adjacent US tech companies.
