@manton Much of my career was in software dev and management. Ended up moving through PM to VPE. I can totally see a world where a human maintains a kanban board of features and issues and the AI agents take care of coding and testing to iterate towards a product vision.
But I’m more worried about the impact of rising unemployment across multiple industries, coupled with more energy use, coupled with increased income inequality, coupled with entrenched fascist power in a US government that ends up running sham elections. That seems a recipe for revolution at best, and failed state and die-off at worst.
I just hope there are enough people with hopeful ideas and the energy to pursue them to avoid the worst possible outcomes, more for my kids than for myself.
