Well,
I know about a (good no idea?) developer who had a lot of money.
He paid "online gamers" to harvest items for him in an online game.

Because he thought (and told so in public): "I love that game, and when I play it the 5h a week while I have time, I want to play it by the most potential".

Using an LLM for coding is more or less the same.

If you have to write 100 lines of code that you have clearly in your mind, and takes 3h to do right, but an LLM can spit it out in 30 seconds ... does that make you a bad coder? Using an LLM I mean? I would say your boss calls you a good coder, haha!

Because they did not run on pay check to pay check limits and/or still where able to do business without computers, or we simply do not know about them.

Again: a million dollar profit bakery which has 10 or 15 places to sell bread and 2 or 3 bakeries, with a computer crash still has the supply chain of incoming flour and other raw materials: as that was an agreed delivery contract months/years ago. So: no immediate harm. They might have some big long term customers (daily delivered) , and they just continue to deliver. Then the remaining customers are day to day passing customers.

While it seriously might be a pain ... they can continue.

And then look at the ransomware gangs: they are probably small teams ... they do not have the time to attack an absurd amount of companies, but have to do the research to find some which might pay.
