Honest question: is anyone else sensing some defensiveness here? The timeframe is open to debate but what's more controversial is whether html/css is near the frontier of solvable problems. After AlphaGo, my worldview is changed forever. Glad to be still being valued for something I started out of joy but in no way feel it's not disruptable. Sometimes I even wonder why it hasn't advanced further since it's quite well defined, digital data in/out.

Yup, lots of ppl are very defensive about this! We are the farm workers looking at a prototype of a combine harvester. We will stop ourselves from believing it until its taken our job and then we will claim it was obvious all along. Ppl are emotional.

My most uncharitable interpretation is that it's easy to cheer for AI when it replaces someone else's job, it's harder when it might replace your job.
