Rather the opposite, it will bring back the hierarchy of "systems
analysists", "programmer analysts", and "coders" that traditionally did
100-person multi-year projects that accomplish what someone does bangs
out these days in one afternoon.

There's a good book from the 1980s about search engine implementation.
It has all kinds of info about how to optimize bit layouts of search
indexes on disk and stuff like that.  I'm sure engineers at places like
Google still read this book.  It takes a lot of careful coding and
optimization to do that stuff efficiently.  The book's title: "Managing
Gigabytes".

Gigabytes today are of course something you simply slurp into RAM from a
Python script and crunch with built-in library functions.  You might get
a 10x efficiency hit but you don't care.  If you change the title to
"Managing Petabytes" though, most of the stuff in the book is still
valid.
