It doesn't disappear but it does easy up some instances of fighting configuration, documentation, syntax or even comparing three approaches that are similar but you don't know their full effect.

I think it's a very fun space, finally being able to empower many people who in the past wouidve been bottlenecked unless they were using very simple tools for their domain and upskilled enough. Those 2 things will still be true, but the speed at which some things can happen at the exploration and other layers has seen a significant speedup.

Other problems like entropy/slop, security, system testing, lack of automation fundamentals arise but it's a good problem to start tackling.

I'm very focused on evals [1] because is what allows me to not to be the bottleneck with economists who I want to empower to code end to end and I'd like that mental shift to happen for anyone becoming a builder so non traditional developers and developers by trade have a common language for product building [2]. That part of speaking to different audiences and combating hype that promises to do everything for you Vs the intent that's actually needed is hard, but trying gets you to advance quite a lot.
