The big issue I see coming is that leadership will care less and less about people, and more about shipping features faster and faster. In other words, those that are still learning their craft are fucked up.

The amount of context switching in my day-to-day work has become insane. There's this culture of “everyone should be able to do everything” (within reason, sure), but in practice it means a data scientist is expected to touch infra code if needed.

Underneath it all is an unspoken assumption that people will just lean on LLMs to make this work.

I think this is sadly going to be the case.

I also used to get great pleasure from the banging head and then the sudden revelation.

But that takes time. I was valuable when there was no other option. Now? Why would someone wait when an answer is just a prompt away.
