Finding Comfort in the Uncertainty - Annie Vella

I’m writing this having just landed back in New Zealand after a very long journey home from Utah. On the final leg from Houston to Auckland, I found myself wedged between a retired industrial chemist and a theoretical physicist who was reading a C++ book. I couldn’t not say anything. We ended up in a brief conversation about the future of software engineers. He was learning memory management for a trading firm. He thought AI-generated code was “pretty crap”. He’d also noticed, though, that engineers around him were losing their jobs.
