And the people that are currently programmers and software engineers, I think they're at the cutting edge of understanding intuitively how to communicate

with agents using natural language in order to design the best kind of software.

Exactly.

over time, they'll converge, but I think there's still value in getting, I think, learning how to program, like learning what programming languages are, the old kind of programming.

What,

what are good practices for programming languages, what are design principles for programming languages, for large software systems.

But just to linger on it outside of coding, I think a lot of people, rightfully so, are worried about their jobs, have a lot of anxiety about their jobs, especially in the white-collar sector.

I don't think any of us know

what to do with tumultuous times that always come when automations and new technology arrives.

And I just,

First of all, I think we all need to have compassion and the responsibility to feel sort of the burden of what the actual suffering feels like for individual people and families that lose their job.

I think whenever you have transformative technology like that's coming with artificial intelligence, there's going to be a lot of pain.

And I don't know what to do about that pain.

Hopefully it creates much more opportunities for those same people for the same kind of job as the tooling evolves and makes them more productive and makes them more fun.

Hopefully, as it does in the programming, I've been having so much fun programming, I have to say, like I've never had this much fun.

So hopefully it makes their job, automates the boring parts and makes the creative parts, the ones that the human beings are responsible for.

But still there's going to be a lot of pain and suffering.

job's purpose includes you certain tasks then it it's vital that you go learn how to use ai to automate those tasks and then there's the world of spectrum in between and by the way the beautiful thing about ai so the the the chatbot versions is you can break down you have anxiety and you can break down the problem by talking to it

Like I've recently, it's really just incredible how much you can think through your life's problems and through, and I don't mean like therapy problems.

I mean like very practically, okay, I'm worried about my, literally, I'm worried about my job.
