We were stuck near local maxima since before LLM's came on the scene. I figure the same concentration of innovators are gonna innovate, now LLM assisted, and the same concentration of best-practice folk are gonna best-practice--now LLM assisted. Local maxima might get sticker, but greener pastures will be found more quickly than ever.

I expect it'll balance.

Honestly the biggest hindrance of developer productivity right now is probably perpetual, looming layoffs, not lacking AI, tools, programming languages, etc :)
