While AI undeniably impacts the way we write code, it hasn't fundamentally changed our role as engineers.
True, but it changes the way that management and investors see us. I, for one, am planning to go back to school in order to move into patient-facing healthcare. I'd love to hear others' ideas on fields that are intellectually stimulating and where the human touch is valued.
- cadamsdotcom 2y agoOkay. But. Don’t leave the field completely. Keep building things even if it’s just vibe coding and reading the code. This AI coding caper is moving fast! Patient facing healthcare will see you spend years getting trained only to hop on the bottom rung of a system hamstrung by onerous regulation (understandable) and severe labor shortages (complex). You’ll be moving all day and have sore feet by the end of the day. The human touch is valued only by the subset of the population who deign to be polite. Your management values metrics. My prediction is you’ll be shocked and dismayed and come running back to your relatively unregulated, keyboard driven, non body destroying current career.
- snozolli 2y agoI mean, I'm not planning to become a nurse. There are a lot of patient-facing roles in healthcare that don't involve being on your feet all day.
