Ask HN: What to learn/do in the age of AI?
4 comments
A mechanical engineer has to know where to put the bolts and know if they were put in the right place by a robot.
A software engineer has to know where to increment a loop counter and know if it was incremented in the right place by an AI.
Maybe you can contribute, but I would not call you "A Software Engineer".

that sounds pretty bleak :(
I clearly didn't mean that that is all a software engineer has to know, any more than that bolts are all a mechanical engineer has to know.
Yes, thinking about computing belongs to everyone.
If you get a chance to study computer science formally, include business, physics, and math. Life gives only a window or three to dedicate to study.

Now with AI agents that can code real shit up, and even genius, experienced devs on hackernews using them a lot, do i even go down this path?
