I can imagine fifth epoch engineers only doing code review and prompt engineering or handling major incidence once the LLMs handle the code writing.

- ActionHank 3y agoMy son is the only one in his class that has a PC. There is going to be an astounding gap between those in the know and those who are not.
- dagw 3y agoI've noticed the same. I'm convinced that the generation that is under 16 today will on average know a lot less about computers compared to 20 years ago.
- ActionHank 3y agoNot my son, he's counting binary and hex, built his PC with me, ran network cables with me, is coding his own games for himself and his friends. Assuming some form of ubiquity for AI tooling people like him are going to build amazing things.
- geodel 3y ago20 years from now your son is founder/CEO of a large gaming company and my son a union worker raising slogan outside offices "Free gaming credits are Human rights!"
- dagw 3y agoThere have always been and will always be outliers that are super into anything. My point was that the kids who didn't really care about computers when I was in school still knew a lot more about computers than the kids today who don't really care about computers
- LargeTomato 3y agoUnfortunately your son is uncommon and for every kid who "counts in binary" there are dozens of kids in Juvenile Hall, on food stamps, no job, government handouts, sub-100 IQs. Your son may generate untold wealth and a portion of that will go to feeding the masses.
- uticus 3y agoI can imagine first epoch engineers doing this, they are the ones who are in most need of giving their wrists a rest and less keystrokes.
- euroderf 3y agoAren't Nth-epoch engineers supposed to be interviewing stakeholders and formulating requirements ?
