This comment is wildly out of touch. The SMB owner can now generate some Python code. Great. Where do they deploy it? How do they deploy it? How do they update it? How do they handle disaster recovery? And so on and so forth.

LLMs accelerate only the easiest part of software engineering, writing greenfield code. The remaining 80% is left as an exercise to the reader.

All the devs I work with would have to go through me to touch the infra anyway, so I'm not sure I see the issue here. No one is saying they need to deploy fully through the stack. It's a great start for them and I can help them along the way just like I would with anyone else deploying anything.

In other words, most of the barriers to leveraging custom software are still present.

Yes, the parts we aren't talking about that have nothing to do with LLMs, ie normal business processes.
