100 years ago, we’re told, cars took the jobs of millions of horses, coachman, and the like. An it seems obvious, that this was the case because because cars could do many things that a horse simply couldn’t. I’d be remiss to point out, however, that humans took the horses jobs, because horses couldn’t drive. I do not know when or when we’ll see this technology start taking jobs, and much of the hype surrounding this innovation is coming from CEO’s who haven’t used it. However, when it comes to developing software, I do know that those least at risk will be those who learn how to use this technology effectively. As someone who uses it everyday for software development, I think the scale of the job replacements we’ll see in the next few years is either being greatly over exaggerated, or, I’ll be caught off guard by how quickly it gets to that point and I’m simply having a hard time coming to terms with the fact that I wont be cut out for this job when that time comes.
