Bottlenecks most often stem from lack of clarity.

The business doesn’t have clarity on what they are trying to achieve. Or they don’t have clarity on what’s important, and constantly change priority (and both of these can cause the most talented engineer to spin their wheels).

LLMs can help gain clarity, the same way a coach, consultant, or therapist can help you work through a scenario. But it’s only as effective as the work you’re willing to put into that endeavor.

So it comes down to:

* Nothing has changed regarding the nature of human work ethic

* Most people don’t want to be a programmer. The idea that ”everyone’s a programmer now” is no different than saying ”everyone’s a carpenter now” because power tools exist. Most people don’t want to do that kind of work and are happy to pay someone else to do it.
