To all of the people worried about being 'left behind' by AI and who believe that AI is as transformational as the web:

I was an early adopter of the web. I had a 9,600 modem. I wrote web pages that had graceful fallback for browsers that predated the img tag. I dealt with the differences between Netscape Navigator 2.0 and Internet Explorer 2.0. I was even guilty of writing web pages that were 'Best viewed in Netscape Navigator 2.0'. I learned about the 10-10-10 rule (as web page should load in 10 seconds on a 14.4 Kb/s MODEM, have all of the key details visible on a 10" monitor, and have no more than 10 points per page).

A lot of the best web developers never experienced this era. We're almost at the point where the majority of them were not even born while I was doing this. And yet, being very late to the party hasn't been a problem for them.

If anything coming out of the bubble is as transformative as the web, you have plenty of time to catch up once it's stabilised into something of long-term value.
