I think it's just another floor in the creaky old tower of abstraction.

Machine code > ASM > 3GLs > 4GLs > visual programming > LLMs

etc etc etc. Thing is, the moment you go off-piste, the LLMs get a lot less useful. I think, if you want to stay closer to the metal, you've got to aim for a niche that has a small internet footprint. So... domain knowledge or esoteric programming knowledge.

One way to incorporate domain knowledge might be to become a hybrid product owner/programmer.

(This is all just opinion - I'm sure a well-argued rebuttal is possible).
