It’s harder to go from 30 years as an assembly worker to a career as a developer than go from developer to say product manager or whatever roles will survive.

It’s harder to go from 30 years as an assembly worker to a career as a developer than go from developer to say product manager or whatever roles will survive.
- adrianN 2mo agoIn companies where I worked there were about two dozen developers for every product manager, sometimes more.
- victorbjorklund 2mo agoThat’s why I said ”or whatever role”
- ryanbrunner 2mo ago1. There's far less product managers 2. What makes you so sure that product managers won't be automated away? The breathless pronouncements from the people running these companies aren't that there won't be software developers, it's that there won't be knowledge workers.
- victorbjorklund 2mo agoThat’s why I said ”whatever” roles. Doubt you think no a single role will exist in 10 years?
- pjmlp 2mo agoAs someone that as teenager observe traditional shoe factories being automated away, or the production being sent offshore, the robot factory can function with 10% of the original staff, or even less. Now for the sake of argument multiply the 90% of the employees that were laid off, with the amount of companies that do the same, there aren't enough roles whatever those may be for everyone else now at the job center.
