A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

So it would still be safe, they'd just be doing different work from what they do now. Same as how other advances in tech stacks made it so we do things differently now than 30 years ago.
People are very adaptable
Indeed. Do people still use emacs to code, for example?
Technologies evolve. People coding today in COBOL or Fortran are few and far between (but very well compensated).
Umm. Yes.
No, all the cool kids use Vim.
Yeah sure, i use Emacs to code. In evil mode. A lot of Emacs users use it to code. Why would you think otherwise?
Hell yea we do use emacs!
Sure. Why wouldn't they?
Not sure if that's a serious question. Yes. They do. And many use it effectively. I use (neo)vim though because it works for me
Yes, that's the key. I haven't written assembly code since the 1990s, I use higher-level abstractions to get to the goal more quickly now. AI-generated code is just yet another layer of abstraction away from machine language.
