I also think the same. And it is not "gifted" per se, but well-guided, and serious students. The demand for a truly skilled exceptional engineer will always remain, even in FAANG, even now. The demand for mid-rung IT workers will

Cal Newport discusses a very similar idea in his book Deep Work . I recommend reading this book to everyone who are struggling to focus for longer times, or consider themselves chronic underachievers. This book had a huge influence in my l

This is not a counter-point. A "subject" might be any concrete thing- not merely valuable things in a worldly way. A candy wrapper, a stone, a broken cup, any thing. It can also be an abstract thing as well. What GP is saying-

These two are fundamentally different. Books always existed. They are a concrete, well-defined, well-understood, ubiquitous object. You just wanted to sell a new way towards it. But audio-things aren't even properly defined.
