If PyPI goes out and I cannot use NumPy, I can still roll-out my own implementation of linear algebra library, because I've got the required knowledge, and I've got it because I had to learn it instead rely on LLMs.
I definitely couldn't, because I just use NumPy. Maybe I could roll my own matrix multiplication, but anything more would require cracking open a textbook that I haven't looked at for a decade. And this was true before I touched an LLM.
