Website devs, what took 15 - 20 devs now takes 5

There are far more than 4* the number of websites though, so it's likely there are more web devs now.
Which is the upside of automation and AI "taking jobs away from people"; the adoption of new technologies makes things cheaper, easier and more accessible, so more people do it than before, resulting in a bigger market and more net economic activity in that space, and maybe even more of the people who carry out that role, not fewer.
