What most miss today is DX - Developer Experience, many (most?) devs don't want to become Prompt Engineers.

Another thing is that not many can afford Fable or similar and I don't think prices will go down, since it is already heavily subsidized?

I've always spent 90% of my work time thinking and sketching what the architecture should be to solve a problem. I find that once I've worked that out, it's actually still faster for me to code it than to try to explain it and refine it in prompts. And the code ends up more succinct and covers the edge cases I've already considered. If I need a fast script to do one thing, or unit tests, sure an LLM is faster at writing those. But for clean code, nothing beats knowing what you're going to write and just writing it yourself.

... and 10x that for long term maintenance and evolution of the code. When you read your code later, understanding of it comes more naturally/faster than somebody else's code (at least for me). I break down bigger problems into small chunks in one way, other folks may view things differently.

What is the difference between a prompt engineer but a manager who talks with his charges to get some stuff designed?

There's a difference between charges and AI, in that the charges can be promoted to become managers and eventual decision makers which AI cannot be.

Another thing is that not many can afford a power loom or similar and I don't think prices will go down, since it is already heavily subsidized?

It's just energy and chips, and both can be made cheaper.

I think GP was referring to the industrial revolution and shares your sentiment.
