In the future there will be three jobs: artists, engineers, and sellers. Artists will design and create the products but they’re at the top of the pyramid. Next you have sales for people who don’t have the technical or creative skills but who know how to hustle. Then you have the people who are going to implement the ideas of the artist and give sales something to sell. Insofar as CS is how we build with information I see this as the biggest class and see no oversupply, only oversupply of unqualified talent.

- NotSammyHagar 7y agoIf you are doing creative handmade software (bespoke) then you are doing an artistic endeavor, like writing, solving math problems via proofs. I've been fortunate to do that during my career in cs - working on infrastructure software. But how many databases does the world need? Eventually we'll have enough of these tools and more people imho will just put tools together to solve problems.
