How long have you been in the industry?
This does not seem a revolution compared with database standardization, abandonment of assembly for most coding, introduction of game engines, etc.
I see a lot of hype for LLMs from people that do not have the experience to compare them to anything else.
I been doing development for over 25 years and I completely agree with what they are saying. It's similar to going from punch cards to terminals. We were using assembly, COBOL, and Fortran in the 1990's and into the early 2000s. Zork even had a game engine. These are not the revolutions you think and have no hard cut off when change happened.
