Anything that you can easily specify and describe in detail can be automated. In practise the world is filled with computers that need programming to cope with ever changing chaotic actions of our users. Personally I'm long on software developers, despite being very excited by how AI has blown up lately.
- rpranav 10y agoAgree. I remember someone advising me against getting a degree in computer science, back in 2000. Argument was -- look at MS Word. what else you want to add to this? It has more features than you need. Not a fair argument against the point made above, however, I believe we will find the next big challenge for software to solve as soon as traditional problems are commoditized/automated and considered solved. Also, just knowing how to code is not going to be enough. You must complement it with domain expertise to solve challenging unsolved real world problems.
