I am passionate about programming, but not that interested in AI. This gives me hope for my future.

in #aiIf loss of a tool = loss of your skill & knowledge, then that tool isn't an asset, it's a liability. You're signing over your ability to do business to whoever sells & maintains that tool.
This reasoning resonates with me.
It also made me think about the presentation Peter Van Hardenberg - Local First: the secret master plan where he describes woodworkers making their own tools, called jigs, that help them build better.
Perhaps it is a good exercise in software to let go of a tool that we use and see if we can still do our job. And perhaps that might even lead to us thinking about and building new tools?

in #software #aiIn What Skills Do Developers NEED To Have In An AI Future?, Trisha Gee says
Developers Are a Bridge Between the Silicon and End User
This was said in the context of the importance of "soft skills" for a developer.
This explanation of a developer resonates so much with me because it encompasses everything. On the one hand you need to be able to program the silicon at a low level. On the other hand you need to be able to communicate with the end user to figure out what to build.
It was also said in the context that how you realize an end user need might change with AI. You might write a prompt instead of writing code. But the developer's job is still to be that bride.
