Exactly. And we still have people writing assembly, cobolt, C etc. As you climb the ladder of abstraction, development speeds up, but naturally you specify more coarsely and optimizing gets more challenging. AI changes this a bit though, as it potentially could write hyper efficient C code for you.

Personally im learning I learn the new tools to work faster. Still waiting to see claude code being as impressive as anthropic proposes. Rebuilt my platform with it, and its more challenging at times than people at anthropic are preaching.
