It’s interesting how much the bot activity seems to have dropped. We’ve gotten far fewer hateful MAGA comments over the last few days. It’s been nice!
Jon Hays makes the case that not only will AI not wipe out software developers, in several years we might have more available jobs than people:
By then, I suspect we’ll have discovered that AI hasn’t eliminated the need for good software engineers. It’s simply changed what those engineers are capable of producing.
