“We’ll miss creating something we feel proud of”

I still feel proud when skillfully guiding a set of AI agents to build from my imagination. Especially when it was out of my reach just 6-months ago.

I’m a 49 year old veteran who started at just 10 years old and have continued to find pure passion in it.

I wonder if this is just a matter of degree. In a few years (or less) you may not have to "skillfully guide" anything. The agents will just coordinate themselves and accomplish your goals after you give some vague instruction. Will you still feel proud? Or maybe a bit later then agents will come up with their own improvements and just ship them without any input at all. How about then?

That requires thinking. Let's just ship now, think later. Does it matter? Show me the money and all that. We will all just ride in the sunset with Butch Cassidy and the Sunset Kid I'm sure.

Then we can finally turn off the computers and go outside to play with friends.

How do you pay your bills? That's the dark question that's looming in the background.
