> It’s weird to believe simultaneously that AI will write all your code and also that you only need leetcode grinders.
I think this is extremely true — amusing to watch Silicon Valley shit-talk PM pool girls while they transform into PMs themselves telling AIs what to do/write/build. I've felt a flip in the last 3-5 years where I now feel far more secure in my "fake email job" (all soft skills, intuition, trust) than I would if I spent undergrad becoming a mediocre software engineer 🤷🏻♀️
That's probably the real takeaway, to do the things that make you happy. I believe most people are capable of most things and that what we need is the ability to find the right thing for us.
(very good software engineers who can make high-level technical decisions will remain valuable, but I know that I personally would not have become a good one)
