I realized the other day that I have been working at Microsoft through 8 different paradigm shifts in computing. From mainframes, to minis, to pcs, to graphical ui, to client/server, to mobile, to cloud, and now to Machine Learning/AI.
What a ride this has been, and I wonder what comes next?

There's a whole lot of us who are finding LLMs genuinely useful on a daily basis, do you think we are deluding ourselves about that?
And unlike with crypto, "genuinely useful" here doesn't just mean "I gambled and my bag went up" (or I avoided a regulation somewhere)

Big tech demand for software engineers has past its peak. You can see it in declining hiring & compensation and increased layoffs.
A question is how much AI is playing a role?
As a replacement to coders, I think not much. As the driver of cost cutting to buy GPUs and build data centers? A lot.
