We’ve also been blowing a lot of retainer hours just patching sites instead of building new features. It sucks. Ultimately going to cost clients more.

Probably not, if you factor in the cost of security exploits. A single compromise can potentially sink the business.

It's not like no work is happening though. Your clients are getting a more secure website. Maybe the bugs that are being patched would have taken longer to be exploited in the pre-LLM world but the bugs were still there.
