I agree this is a problem too, but I suspect mostly for novel(ish) software problems. For me, LLMs have expanded the solution space, because, while I used to be decent with SQL in Postgres, now I'm operating on a whole new level—the LLM's ability to make sense of Postgres' full suite of options, and the performance implications of the queries, is far beyond what I could have accomplished.

I think this list demonstrates the OP's point—entrenched, resource-heavy, and reputable firms have and will continue to capture most of the markets, not for lack of competition, but by ownership over the distribution channels.

Having said that, I don't think it's all AI (this trend's been going on for a while), nor do I think startups can't thrive—as the pie gets bigger, competitors can carve out yet smaller niches, as the OP points out.

For me, working mostly in Planning Mode skips much of the initial misfires, and often leads to correct outcomes for the first edit.

I've had the same experience, although I feel like Claude is far more than a junior to me. It's ability to propose options, make recommendations, and illustrate trade-offs is just unreal.
