You think millions of unskilled and semi-skilled workers can be retrained as software developers and that there'll be employment opportunities for these millions of new programmers?
I think it's much more likely that many existing programming jobs will also be automated away.
- r2dnb 10y agoThe concept of spending a life being employed is rather new. In the future the majority of people will be business owners... like in the old days. And what I'm saying is that these businesses will likely be software-based, and that those being software-illiterate will have a life as comfortable as the one lived by illiterate people before them. Software is becoming the new paper, this is what I am saying. Today, we on HN are like the Lords and the clergy who were the only ones able to read and write and hereby be involved in the important business of their times. The history only repeat itself. And it will always.
