I don't get this meme. Who is doing this? To the extent I'm seeing anyone successfully replaced en masse by LLMs, it's Indian IT consultancies.

None of Amazon Just Walk Out, Nate or Engineer.ai used GPT-class LLMs.

Pre-ChatGPT (2022)? Sure. Meme applies. Today, it doesn't make sense--the closest comparison for AI's coding output is that of a mediocre offshore IT outsourcer.

I just cut 30,000 in managed services b.c I can self host the solution myself on a 300/yr droplet. The folks that were servicing us in the 2nd year (india) won't have the account now since I can do it myself.
