Kyle HughesI haven't opened Xcode to do any work since November. If that was required to do my best possible work then I would do it, but I am doing better work than is possible when I do it so I do not do it. That is why I am not twisting myself into knots about what skills I am losing versus gaining. If I am losing skills then it is because they are not necessary to do my best possible work. The skills I am gaining are required to do my best possible work. I have never been precious about this.
Maybe it will be the case that this technology stops progressing right now and I am coasting on the momentum of how good I was before programming agents and I am flying too close to the sun and will come crashing down in 18 months. I think it is more likely that one single additional step change completely commodifies me and I am paving roads in 18 months and do not have health insurance.
Ted Carstensen@kyle paving roads for who and to where and for what goods for who to buy? Can you put in a good word?
@ted To get the children to and from the mines. I decided I'm likely too tall to actually swing the pickaxe.
