> Most developers are not AI developers
I remember how I joined a startup after working for a traditional embedded shop and a colleague made (friendly) fun of me for not knowing how to use curl to post a JSON request. I learned a lot since then about backend, frontend and infrastructure despite still being an embedded developer. It seems likely that people all around the industry will be in a similar position when it comes to AI in the next years.

- antifa 3y agoMost AI work will just be APIs provided by your cloud provider in less than 2 years. Understanding what's going on under the hood isn't going to be that common, maybe the AI equivalent of "use explain analyze, optimize indexes" will be what passes for (engineering, not scientist) AI expert around that time.
- torginus 3y agoMost things provided by your cloud cloud provider are just slightly modified and pre-packaged versions of software you can run anyway. Postgres on EC2 is a perfectly viable alternative to whatever Amazon offers.
- gymbeaux 3y agoAWS Glue is just Apache Spark but you can’t debug it when it errors because all that is “conveniently” obfuscated from you. SageMaker is JupyterLab with a GPU attached. Cognito is just OAuth. And of course networking is fucked… somehow AWS made it more complicated than the real thing, like they abstracted in the opposite direction.
