Insist that 'AI will never create real software' and hold underground live-coding demos inside faraday cages while jacked up on 4loko. Scene falls into disarray when '0xDEADBEEF', the star of this edgy new entertainment genre, turns out to be running a lightweight LLM on a local TPU.

Become a senior software engineer so that you have enough skills to use the AI to generate mostly functioning code and manually fix what it doesn't get correct?

What did all the graphic designers do when they were replaced by clip-art & off-the-shelf templates?

Probably buy a farm.

In 2000, I didn’t pursue going into tech because all of the jobs were going to India.

I told myself at the time, well they’ll never be able to get rid of writers, so why not study writing! Hah so glad to be wrong now.

Sit back and enjoy our lives of leisure now that machines are finally doing all the work.
