its not a misinterpretation but an observation. your moat as software dev is disappearing. i know several companies that reduced their 20+ full stack dev team to just 4, in some cases they got rid of them all together and it is now the CTO/CEO + contractors who are paid hourly and working less than 20 hours a week on average.

We are only getting started, this trend is not going to revert, we are going to get cheaper tokens and more Fable 5 exceeding models that are going to be faster and easier to use.

We had a recession before personal computing took off and another one after the dot com bubble, this didn't put any hinderance on adaoption of the new tech it increased it

I am not sure it's the moat that is disappearing. I think it's just redistribution of the talent. We do see a definite increase in the projects flowing into the company, something around 20-40% from my (not accurate) observations.

That is the misinterpretation. You apply the shift of capabilities only to one portion, the devs. Why wouldn't it change management positions? You already name it, the headcount goes down, also less managers. Why even have a CTO?
