Preserving developer craft in the LLM era — LLM-aware training & assessment

Preserving developer craft in the LLM era — LLM-aware training & assessment targets a $27.0B = 27M developers x $1,000 ARPU/year (global developer upskilling & tooling spend) total addressable market with medium saturation and a year-over-year growth rate of 18% (corporate upskilling + developer tools adoption driven by LLMs).

Key trends driving demand: LLM-assisted development -- broad adoption of Copilot-style tools is changing how engineers write code and creating new training requirements.; Outcome-driven L&D -- enterprises increasingly pay for measurable skill outcomes rather than consumption metrics (video hours).; Shift to skills-based hiring -- companies want objective, job-relevant signals rather than resume keywords as hiring becomes more skills-focused.; Tooling telemetry -- richer editor and CI/CD telemetry make provenance and activity-based assessment feasible at scale..
