You might think the people doing politics are manipulative ladder climbers, but they're climbing the same ladders available to you, so you should be one too.

I'm still the one doing the doing after the learning is complete.

Sometimes I reflect on how much more efficiently I can learn (and thus create) new things because of these technologies, then get anxiety when I project that to everyone else being similarly more capable.

Then I read comments like this and remember that most people don't even want to try.

My companies have posted an awful lot of job ads in earnest over the years that haven't found suitable candidates, despite an absolute barrage of slop resumes.

No matter how right the bubble crowd is, the market becoming irrationally exuberant for a brief period of time does not invalidate the technology or the rapid change we'll see as a result of it.

I'm not convinced anyone is an expert on it yet relative to what AI dev baseline will be in a year or two.
