Massive amounts of capital are shifting into AI tech. Neat! But it’s a mistake to stop investing in traditional devs, and I think the organizations that keep investing in talent will ultimately win.

Exactly.

Computers keep getting smarter, yet remain stubbornly stupid.

We can solve the stupid, but we won’t, because solving that challenge is not as economical as continuing to hire a human computer handler, who has a natural talent for doing human stuff.

As in Asimov’s novels, we may actually get really good at making computers handle particularly human tasks - shortly after human procreation goes out of style.

Paraphrasing:

“we just built the combine harvester… We’ll have fewer farmers!”

“I don’t understand why there’s so much doom and gloom about the future for developers, discouraging people to learn”

Ummm… I’m no math surgeon, but something isn’t adding up here.
