How long until that the devs at that major corporation start using an LLM? You think your smaller team can still compare to their huge team?

Of course they can. if you’ve ever stepped a foot inside big tech you’ll know the bottle neck is not dev output.

If the goal is to simply undercut the incumbent with roughly the same product than it doesn't really matter if the incumbent starts using LLMs too as their cost structure, margin expectations, etc. are already relatively set.
