I win either way.
If AI takes over in the predicted scale and timeline, I'll be one of the members of the last generation of developers who never felt even a single drop of impostor syndrome. People like me will be essentially walking legends.
If AI fails, then my skeptical predictions become true, and I'll be a visionary that saw through the bullshit while everyone was full of wool in their eyes.
Both of these scenarios provide people like me plenty of opportunity. If it doesn't pan out for _me specifically_, then it's just a statistical fluke, probably not related to the whole thing.
These concerns about employability are quite misguided. These are 2-3 years ahead, highly volatile unknowns. I try to think decades ahead, sometimes more, and quite more broadly.

- alganet 1y agoThis is more related to how little I think of the current crop of LLMs to how optimistic my worldviews are. I've seen many waves of amazing new tech over the years. The good ones often form healthy communities. Sometimes there's competition, but always in good sport. LLMs seems like a viper's nest. It's a bad one. Lots of people at each others throats.
