Worked for a much lesser international company and it was exactly the same minus the politeness. I had to find a quiet corner to get some work done.

<cynic>Yeah React is already so last year.</cynic>

Only read the transcript but I'm not getting most of it. I mean it starts with a bunch of aphorisms we all agree with but when it should be getting more concrete it goes on with statements that are kind of vague.

E.g. what exactly does it mean to: >> Don’t use an object to handle information. That’s not what objects were meant for. We need to create generic constructs that manipulate information. You build them once and reuse them. Objects raise complexity in that area.

What kind of generic constructs?

How do I know whether this thing isn't already here "commending" in this very thread?

I wouldn't be so sure. Programmers (and drivers and cashiers) can "survive" in poverty like millions others already do. This transformation is coming in waves that keep the proverbial frog in the pan.

Does it need to solve original problems? Most of the code we write is dealing with the same problems in a slightly different context each time.

As others say in commends it might be the case where we meet in the middle. Us writing some form of tests for AI-produced code to pass.

>> There’ll be several new career paths made possible by this technology as greater worker productivity makes possible greater specialization.

Can you list a few?

The same Ginni who walked away with a huge bonus?

I think this is the new normal. Either open/close as soon as a more dangerous variant comes along (can happen with most of the Earth population unvaccinated). Or just let it be and get used to health system being on its knees on peak seasons and more vulnerable/unvaccinated dying of.
