Careers have failed to be 30 years long for a lot longer than 30 years now. That's one of the reasons that 4-year colleges have drastically lost their ROI, the other blade of those scissors being the stupendously rising tuition. AI is nothing but one more layer in the constantly growing substrate of computing technology a coder has to learn how to integrate into their toolbelts. Just like the layers that came before it: mobile, virtualization, networking, etc.
- snowwrestler 2y agoCareers are still longer than 30 years. How many people do you think are retiring at 48 or 51 years old these days? It’s a small minority. Most people work through 65: a career of about 45 years or more.
- dmoy 2y agoRight but most people don't stick a single career anymore. An individual career is <30 yrs, and the average person will have >1 of them. It's not as out there as e.g. this article (https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052748704206804575468162805877990 https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052748704206804575468...) - 7 careers is probably a crazy overestimate. But it is >1.
