      “.NET developer”? Meaningless. Copilot, Cursor, etc can
      get anyone conversant enough with .NET to be productive
      in an afternoon
  

  Until something breaks. Or needs an API after the LLM's knowledge cutoff. Or has a bug in the business logic that requires domain understanding to even see.

  My prediction: garbage handwaving like the above will be used by corporate bigwigs to defend paying less and less for experience, because "it's just typing in code".
