I don’t buy the idea that libraries will go away since everyone can just write their own now. Maybe for small internal company use-cases. But libraries are not just code, they’re time invested in edge cases, they’re hundreds of hours of human eyes. I don’t want to replace that.

Yes, I think my current work on the Hardwood Parquet file parser is a good example: while I can implement it without a lot of dependencies (I decided to ship my own AWS API request signer), hundreds of hours (of LLM usage) went into the project, ensuring correctness, great performance, etc.
