When I got back into the interviewing and the job market, this all became painfully clear to me. I really struggled with even basic algos because writing and reviewing, it turns out, are not the same thing. I feel I had definitely grown as an architect and a system designer, but I am not sure I fully understood the scope and speed of skill atrophy.
Every day it’s harder to understand how people still believe that AI will do everything. Seeing companies firing because of an automation carried out by AI is undoubtedly something sad to be to see in the technology market.
I believe that the tools that use trained data can help work, increase productivity, but creativity (writing code is also something creative, isn’t it?) It's still people's and that's being lost.
I'm not against using AI tools, they help, but the way it's sold, is very sad.
I very much agree with you; those blowing up the bubble of AI, which is making user's ever more isolated and dependent on tech, won't take responsibility for all their choices and actions that they're inflicting on the world.
I think coders like yourself will be prized in the future as the current coding skill set will be lost among younger generations, with money determining how much people can do.
With climate change developing at alarming rates at the moment, it's arguably more important than ever to grow creative skills that are fostered through hard skills like coding or art, as this will promote us to think outside the box and come up with necessary solutions (eg mycelium-based biotech for data centres).
