First of all, this is just a thought-provoking question, nothing more. I am personally not convinced that AI will replace software engineers any time soon, no matter how impressive current results are.

But let’s say it succeeds eventually. It means that there won’t be any new languages invented, and no updates to existing ones either. So AI will stick to a few current languages in their current states.

And the learning ability will be limited because human content is not being produced anymore. If that’s the case, AI should logically narrow it’s toolset to a single language which has capability of solving the widest spectrum of problems without the need for any further creativity.

What do you think this language is? Python? JavaScript? Rust? Something else?

I am an engineer (mostly backend) with about 9 years of experience. I love my craft, especially diving into complex problems and continuously improving my skills.

Lately, I've noticed that the joy I get from my work has been fading, mostly because it's been extremely hard for me to find a company that shares my values.

I’ve been thinking about starting my own venture for a long time, but the main thing holding me back is my fear of stagnating as an engineer. I still feel like I have so much to learn in the field, but on the other hand, I’m not sure if that feeling will ever go away.

I would greatly appreciate any advice from tech founders ex-engineers on how to resolve this kind of dilemma.

I have a personal blog that I created to share my thoughts and experience as a software engineer. I have several posts there, but all of them are total crap. I want to improve as a writer, but it feels tremendously hard to focus and stay motivated.

Does anyone have some good tips on becoming a good and productive writer?
