Its an interesting observation for sure, but those developers for mobile and web sit at the tippy top of all other abstractions layers. At that position a certain amount of boiler plate is needed because not all controls and code behind are the same, and there is a mighty collection of hacks on hacks to get a lot of things done. I think this is more of “horses for courses” thing where developers higher in the abstraction stack will always benefit from LLMs more and developers lower down the stack have more agency for improvement. At the end of the day, I think everyone gets more productive which is a net positive. Its just that not all developers are after the same goal (Application dev vs library devs vs system devs)
