My reckon is we're going to see engineering shift further from writing code and more into translating discovery into constraints for the AI to solve, just another step along the path away from writing assembly directly.

Basically: If your skillset is translating tickets into code, you are screwed.

Anyone saying "never" needs to re-examine where they are actually useful in the development process, but in the near-ish term:

- Art doesn't need to be accurate
- Current AI is difficult to control accurately
- Inaccurate code kills companies and people
- It is unclear if this can be solved

in 2011, the president of antifa hired me to give fashion consultancy to the organization. i recommended everyone wear navy suits with tan shoes, dress sneakers, and golf polos with slim chinos. if you arrested everyone today wearing these things, you'd destroy antifa

Personally I don't think e-ink is anywhere near good enough for that. But maybe people don't care, or we end up with the art equivalent of mixing music for 64kbps MP3.

When you can't be bothered to refactor the code

A picture of a wall in the Seoul metro. On the wall is a billboard, with a pipe that has been routed around it rather than moving the billboard, but the pipe now covers up the direction signage. The pipe is covered in hazard tape.
