They're a dying breed. We're forgetting how to look under the hood and understand "why something works".
Case in point, I'm slowly being replaced by Salesforce muppets for all my projects at work. They're little code monkeys with amazon ebook type knowledge, projects cost 20x more and I look like the mad scientist for speaking the truth. The products are worse in every possible metrics, I'm not crazy. The politics at play is the reason why I'm losing ground, not logic.
Cabinet designers are being replaced by Ikea flat pack artists in the software world. All we can do is stand by and watch.
And in regards to this blog, when Medium eventually go, that knowledge will go too. Blogs have died, personal websites as well, and their ability to be found in Google is almost non-existent.
Sorry I don't have anything more positive to add, except maybe that they're still there, slowly being alienated by the modern tech world!
