Exactly my thoughts, I believe that the 10x engineers are basically living in a bubble and completely oblivious to the average developer/engineer (I consider myself average). Yes the LLMs cannot bring the level of sophistication that geohot would have but they totally could satisfy the needs of an average developer and their average job. More than 95% engineers are not having the problems that geohot is solving and most of our works is straightforward that any LLM can do, thus enabling us to do more of the same and possibly focus on slightly abstract problems if we have the time. Someone said couple of months ago that manual coding will be a privilege and I see that now.
