As someone much younger (mid 20's), I have absolutely no idea what to do. I don't even think there _is_ anything I can do, aside from waiting to see what happens. What happens when programmers are no longer needed? That certainly (I hope) won't happen in 5 years, but given the exponential rate of improvement, I can see programming as a profession being gone in 20-30 years.
- oriettaxx 4y agoyou sound too pessimistic even if programming is gone in 20-30 years, you have plenty of time (and energy) to make your daily move to "what is needed".
- reportgunner 4y ago> What happens when programmers are no longer needed? I can't imagine a situation like this. Who is doing all the actual programming work ? Who is receiving the products of the work ? Who is competing with the previous two groups ? Writing code might be no longer needed at some point but programmers don't spend majority of their time writing code.
