> LLMs are eating specialty skills. There will be less use of specialist front-end and back-end developers as the LLM-driving skills become more important than the details of platform usage. Will this lead to a greater recognition of the role of Expert Generalists? Or will the ability of LLMs to write lots of code mean they code around the silos rather than eliminating them?

This is one of the most interesting questions right now I think.

I've been taking on much more significant challenges in areas like frontend development and ops and automation and even UI design now that LLMs mean I can be much more of a generalist.

Assuming this works out for more people, what does this mean for the shape of our profession?
