What NYT thinks devs are doing in Silicon Valley: AI and machine learning hacking in VR 3D. Funny, the article doesn't mention any of those topics at all (except for AI - but only as a way of introducing John McCarthy). Meanwhile we do do things like "finding all occurrences of a given word or pattern of letters in a text" quite frequently. And we are utterly dependent on technologies (e.g. databases, networks) based very strongly on the bread-and-butter content of Knuth's books. I agree, though that for most of us, chasing down "undefined is not a function" and its variants tends to rule the day.
