This is a quality vs quantity issue. There were x number of extremely competent and ~10x moderately competent programmers.

LLMs have only made this to 100x moderately competent programmers and may be 2xed extremely competent ones?

> construct a file in such a way that it can create an updated copy of itself and save it back to the server

Is there some way to accomplish this through GitHub? Like the single html file running on GitHub.io pages can commit the changes to its repo?

> shelves must be packed in the local warehouse

There are offshore clothing manufacturers that arrange the clothes on racks and pack them in the containers.

Once the package reach the destination they do directly on display. This "saves" the company from having to pay someone higher wages for arranging clothing displays.

The companies will always chose lower costs wherever they can get away with.
