@bja reminds me a lot of restclient in emacs, I hardly use curl since I installed that mode

are you sure that AI job is good for you? https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2017-jobs-automation-risk/

my geuss is lots of programming jobs will be automated.

Security/Operation should be less affected then programmers

quite the opposite, i think. that stuff is entirely automatable.

i'm pretty sure MS etc. are already working on it.

fb hires 3000 people to find bad things. they'll all be replaced by AI within 5 years.

we'll need humans to drive the machines. we will not need humans to program them.

You don't want fungible people skimping when it comes to security. The question is whether that just opens up security folks to be able to work more effectively at a higher level / on deeper level concerns, or whether they lose their jobs entirely. Due to the nature of security, I strongly suspect the former. 🙂

@souenzzo ops will probably be the first to go. q: what can an ops guy do that an AI cannot (in principle) do? a: nothing, except maybe pound a keyboard.

operations is theoretically on its way out due to Devops

In practice it's too much of a culture shift for too many companies to take on the automation

now? sure. 5 years from now?

you only need to worry about culture shift if you have people. if you can replace all your peeps by machines, then you don't have a culture problem.

i'm not rooting for it, i'm just saying: this will happen, whether we like it or not.

er, except for clojure programmers, of course.
