There is only one thing that I disagree with in Baldur Bjarnason (npub1hr7…jxyc) 's excellent article on "the deskilling of webdev" - https://www.baldurbjarnason.com/2024/the-deskilling-of-web-dev-is-harming-us-all/ - but I feel like it is a significant omission.
Baldur even touches on it here, earlier in the year, but doesn't explicitly connect the dots: https://www.baldurbjarnason.com/2024/react-electron-llms-labour-arbitrage/
It's the passive voice of the title.
Development isn't mysteriously becoming deskilled. It is _actively being directed, to manage the employment market,_ by the largest players in that market.
