Generative AI is the fastest moving technology I have seen till date. I am seeing something or the other happening every single day. It’s hard to keep track of updates. Scott Werner extends this thought and theorises that because of this we are all junior programmers now.
We’re all junior developers again. But not junior in the traditional sense, where senior is waiting after enough years pass. We’re junior in a permanent sense, where the technology evolves faster than expertise can accumulate.
It’s like being a professional surfer on an ocean that keeps changing its physics. Just when you think you understand waves, they start moving sideways. Or backwards. Or turning into birds.
This is either terrifying or liberating, depending on your relationship with control.
Scott also touches upon other interesting aspects like—Time Dilation in the Age of AI.
