Developers who start out learning to operate at the new higher level abstraction will be operating closer to the user value than those ingrained in the lower level of abstraction, and this is probably inherently true. If you’re a sysadmin insisting on hand editing config files, you may know a lot more about Linux, but a devops engineer with sensible will run circles around you.
Yeah I know you are going to laugh at this old silly me who are not 100% with advancements of human society. Go ahead and have fun while you can.
But let me say this: I get why GN thinks like this. I get why corporation leaders claim that AI could replace developers, whether it is true or not. I get why John Carmack and other similar tier programmers are trying to make GenAI. But if you are one if the rest, a.k.a. mediocre developers, good luck promoting and making AI tools.
Why?
Money. Capitalism is designed to make people put making money over adhering to a value system.
And looking at how well these companies pay, I don’t think I’d be the one to make an exception.
