This is my experience too. I'm primarily a python dev, but have been routinely using other backend languages (rust, go, etc) that I'm familiar with but not at the same level.

Just having ~13yrs experience heavily weighted in one language with some formal studying of others makes directing llms a lot simpler.

Learning syntax, primitives, package managers, testing, etc isn't that much of a lift compared to how I used to program.

Was helping a non-dev colleague who's using claude cowork/code to automate reporting the other day. They understand the business intelligence side well, but were struggling with basic diction to vibe code a pyautogui wrapper to pull up RDP and fill out a MS Access abstraction on a vendor DB.

Think we'll be fine for another 5-10 years as a profession
