"We may be in the first generation of software engineers in the same position. If so, it’s probably a good idea to plan accordingly."
He compares software engineers to pro athletes. What does it mean to plan accordingly? Start working with the mob to fix poker games? I don't know what "plan accordingly" means at all but it is a thought provoking statement.
- sowbug 5mo agoImagine AI had never happened, but you had set a personal goal to write your last line of code in exactly five years. You can manage coders, you can write a novel about coding, you can run a yoga school for coders. You just can't code anymore. What do you do? I know nothing about professional sports other than what I learned from Jerry Maguire, in which Rod Tidwell says "I got a shelf life of ten years, tops. My next contract's gotta bring me the dollars that'll last me and mine a long time. Shit, I'm out of this sport in 5 years. What's my family gonna live on? Huh?" That's the sentiment.
