How do you do, fellow web developers? A growing disconnect.

You must have missed the part where I said a lot of people, not all of them. There are people calling themselves "developer" that shine during the hiring process, but then can't implement a random feature if there's no ready-to-use library for it.
However, this doesn't mean that there still aren't lots of actual developers around, that know what they're doing and can actually code in an actual programming language.
If you want to play true Scotsman, the embedded devs like to make fun of the web devs for being scared of bitfields and refusing to do logic with anything other than string matching and manipulation.
. . .
Secretly it's partially because we're absolutely terrified of strings in any form and simply refuse to use them.
There are a lot of sub disciplines to the field, some benefit a lot from GPT or blindly copying from SA, some don't, but that's ok either way. Keep your skill sets broad and you'll survive.
