My job will eventually disappear, as many other jobs have in the past and will in the future. Or it will be transformed into something different. It didn't exist as it is right now when I was born, and it may not exist when I retire (hopefully after). Maybe the person I talked when I was 18 was a visionary and correct (just off by a few decades). I'm glad I didn't listen.

@alvaromontoro@front-end.social And yet … I'm always learning. The job I did in 2000 is different from the job now. And yet similar. The tools, the programming languages are different now. And yet similar. Were I only knowing what I knew back then, I would be out of a job. I'm always learning, my job is always changing, and yet I'm doing exactly the job I signed up for, a quarter of a century ago.

@alvaromontoro@front-end.social Over the decades I've transformed ideas into something that is repoducable. How that is done has always changed, the need for that transformation has remained the same. Will AI be able to do that work? I think it will. But what about LLM's specifically? So far it doesn't look like it. Someone still needs to ask it the right question and check if it correctly predicts a usable answer.
