🥃 Confessions of a highly functioning web developer.

Adam Crockett 🌀 - Dec 22 '20 - - Dev Community

It's time to talk🦜.

The Dev community spent the last three days playing "never have I ever", by now everyone is feeling a bit queasy.

Now of course there was nothing alcoholic in reality but in the last post I asked everyone to bear all. I was as also as always completely truthful and thank you to those who had done equally good and brave things then shared them.

The post was all in good fun but you have given me the gift of interesting new topics to talk about but more than this, for those suffering with imposters, I encourage you to read the comments and see the not so perfect behaviors we all get up to and you can realize, not perfect IS perfectly normal.

So onto my confession, I am concerned, I have felt completely the opposite point of view about what I am about to say before swinging to the opinion that AI will replace us. GPT2 can write code, you ask it to write a function to achieve a goal and it does that work, this is close to the top of the abstraction tree because after that, there is only you the humans. If there is a chance you can be abstracted, you can bet your bottom dollar you will be one day. When? AI growth is fast and getting faster...

So yeah I feel worried about my career and I think I'm justified.
