The article says that domain expertise is more valuable now because agents can code well, but not understand the domain well.

I believe there are domains that are very well encoded. The model very often can know that a shift can't be longer than 11h and if you ask an agent for scheduling software it can surprise the developer by encoding that rule.

Both domain knowledge and coding skills became cheaper.

It might depend on the domain. Highly regulated domains like finance have entire books around how they should work.

However, I agree that verification skills became more important in both areas. A domain expert needs to catch 12h work shifts and experienced programmer needs to catch when the LLM accidentally put a route in a section that doesn't require authentication.

Both require some kind of harness and automatic verifications methods.
