The fact that I can get a basic web app up in an hour rather than days does not mean that I only work an hour per week, it means that I can spend my time building much more complex applications.
- rb808 9y agoDepends on who's paying, if the client only needs a basic web app - we just need the support guy.
- rurp 9y agoThat frees up the developer to work on projects that would have been infeasible a couple decades ago. To put it another way, has the growth of high level languages like Python led to more jobs or fewer? I strongly suspect the answer is more.
- rb808 9y agoYes we now have more higher level Python developers, but fewer C/C++/Assembly level developers. If the trend continues there will be more configuration/customization roles in higher languages and fewer Python level devs too.
