No, the opposite is true. If you are building something good, you can do it even easier as a solo dev. The only people who will get shut down by all this is the people whose ideas were low quality, and whose only value was "I can code and you cannot."

I get the feeling that we are in the golden age of LLM dev tools, where many tools like Claude Code are very subsidized. That will go away soon, and worse. In the most recent Dwarkesh podcast with Dario, he mentioned that not all tokens should cost the same.

He gave an example where tokens giving advice to restart a computer should be cheap. On the other hand, tokens advising a pharma company on molecules should be expensive.

In the near future I can imaging CC replying:
