While it may be easier to build features, or even a simple product, marketing and sales are only getting harder. Your moat is your ability to grow fast, capture market and earn customer loyalty. From that perspective, technical skills need to move more into GTM engineering to a degree.

But what's sad about what you're suggesting is that we've built the most advanced LLMs in the history of humanity and all we can think to do with them is clone something that already exists. Innovation still requires a human brain and the LLMs only know what they've been told.

So I would say the need for technical skills is actually even more acute. We need smart people to solve highly complex problems as well as teams of developers to deliver quality, secure and efficient code.
