What does [flagged] mean? Is there something wrong with this post?

For now, IMO, high quality software still requires great engineers. Not necessarily spending their time writing code. There is still a shortage of good engineers (maybe there will always be)

Nothing. Nothing prevents me from growing my own food either but I would be in poverty if I did. Gardening/coding is fun but I don't think it's a good investment of my time, given the tools/systems I have at my disposal.

Maybe I'm wrong and I will not miss it. I feel like something is being lost though. A bit of grief is appropriate.

Ouch

Thanks. You get me. I like the architecture/design too, but coding itself was actually enjoyable for me. That's what I'll miss.

My concern is not loosing my job. I agree with your point. It's likely true that demand will increase. I'm just mourning the loss of a craft I enjoyed. When I say "get over it" I'm talking to myself.

It might be true that even though I have a JTB about something I might be wrong.

Nevertheless, I think It would be resonable to act upon a JTB as it it was true. For all effects it is true to the best of my knowledge. This does not mean I shun down new information that might make me to change my JTB.

And if having a JTB is not knowledge, what is? What can we know? We can always imagine a world where even our most firm JTB might be false. If a JTB is not a good case to use the word knowledge I don't know what is
