I still do start from bottom up to refactor everything into workspace members and this way, parallelism is way easier

> LLMs reward seeing forest instead of trees.

Not just forest. LLMs reward seeing structures and designs, and it still requires a lot of creativity to design it well. I have to do a lot of architect works for that, like package layout, testing strategies (BDD vs TDD vs E2E), setting up access to platforms and digging out what strategies to apply...etc.

Trees like demonstrations and example code are even more important. This is because those are literally post-training materials for the LLMs

> Specialists will be fed to the model weights

I don't think so. New labor laws are certainly going to be introduced by the politicans to tackle this.

Now the problem is how far do you want to stretch the systemic thinking, and you also get burned out quicker.
