serious question what are all you tech people doing for a job next year https://t.co/oc9Anu3m4x
@RichDecibels doesn't feel like a serious question but anyway the serious answer is the same thing i've been doing this year, and the year before and in 10 years when using tools like this is faster than coding, i will be using them to do the same job
@RichDecibels "but each frontend dev will be 5x more productive, so there will be 5x fewer devs while salaries remain constant" or each dev will be 5x more productive so they will get 5x the salary while employment remains constant, or anything in between no way of knowing a priori

just a reminder re: AI taking jobs tech has 2 opposing effects on the labor market INCOME EFFECT: labor is made more productive by technology (wages ⬆) SUBSTITUTION EFFECT: labor is replaced by technology (wages ⬇) there is no way a priori to tell which effect will win out
