Freestyle Fridays - Is Writing Code Still Relevant for the Youth?

The Joe Reis Show

I had an interesting conversation yesterday with a young gentleman upgrading my Google Fiber. While he was originally pursuing a career as a software developer, he and his friends decided against it after seeing the progress of ChatGPT over the last couple of years.

As a father of two teenage boys, I often think about the nature of work, including whether writing code will be relevant for future generations. Here, I rant at least part (not all) of what's on my mind. This is a big topic, and you'll see me ranting more about it.
