Ask HN: What happens when "everyone" codes?
In the before times, roughly 2-3% of workforce probably wrote code in some capacity. What happens when this goes to 50%?
everyone :: deals everyone :: scripts, tools, small apps
lawyer :: contracts swe :: high value software
When there are disputes (incidents), lots of money and risk involved, that's where you want a lawyer. I think SWE will stick around as a craft but I genuinely don't know if it will be more or less valuable.
more coders, less computer science
Do you mean when people buy robots that can be loaded with an unrestricted model that permits it to perform surgery at home? I could envision people trying to bring back dangerous old methods of anesthesia such as using Henbane given it can be found in abundance. I can also envision this going horribly wrong for many people as the robot would only have documented knowledge and not real world experience.
