The execs think they're hiring someone to churn out code, and some people are better at that, like everything else. They don't understand that they need someone that can figure out what code needs to be written, and why, and that they need someone that gets what the difference is and that there's always someone that writes better code.

E: Also why I'm not worried about LLMs replacing devs. It ain't just code.

    The insulin produced now has benefited from advances in technology just like most things. The fast acting insulin is predictable and works in 45 minutes to an hour and a half. The original insulin took hours and wasn't nearly as predictable or stable. Testing/monitoring technology has seen even more significant advances.

    I owe Banting and his colleagues my life, but it is different. That's not to say that the continued well being of the public should be profitable and exclusive.
