> If your developers don't know how to build applications without using AI, then you're at the mercy of the AI companies.
The same can be said if your developers don't know how to build applications:
- without using syntax highlighting ...
- without using autocomplete ...
- without using refactoring tools ...
- without using a debugger ...
Why do we not care about those? Because these are commodity features. LLMs are also a commodity now. Any company with a few GPUs and bandwidth can deploy the free DeepSeek or QwQ models and start competing with Anthropic/OpenAI. It may or may not be as good as Claude 4, but it won't be a catastrophe either.
