@dhh says writing code is over (youtu.be/vDjW_dRyKXY?si=ubjW…). I agree. Knowing how to make things up and down the stack is where the action is. When @ezraklein asked @JensenHuang what his three book recommendations are, Jensen mentioned "Computer Architecture" by Hennessy and Patterson. He knew exactly what he was doing. The intermediate languages might be changing but at the base is still a John von Neumann computer.

@asmartbear says (youtu.be/aRVx37zQGFE?si=2W_W…) there are currently three categories of AI products (paraphrasing slightly): -- Existing product enhancement -- Expert enablement -- Muggles empowerment (the new no-code) He argues, and I agree, that the only category that AI is currently ready for is the middle one. The first doesn’t work, or at least doesn’t add significant value. The last only gets the user 80% of the way to a production product and then they are stuck. The second one, expert enablement, means that the person who can do the thing does 80% 100x faster with the help of AI and has the expertise the finish it with or without the help of AI. Because they are experts, they have the ability to either write the code or coax the AI to finish it correctly.
