  1. Fire half of your expensive developers
  2. Tell the other half to use LLMs
  3. LLMs are shit, so everyone now has twice the workload
  4. Re-hire developers
  5. They're forced to sign new contracts and settle for less cause the job market is flooded
  6. Profit

It was never about LLMs. It's about timing.
The first companies to "pivot to AI" got more investor money, a raise in stock prices, and cheap LLM contracts initially.
Now the first companies to re-hire devs get cheaper employees, before demand picks up again.

LLMs are going to evolve into a position where being wrong sometimes and hallucinating sometimes won't matter, because organizations are already built to deal with it: managers.
