We do this every 15 years. For anyone less than 15 years into their career, welcome to the party.

Let’s see if I can save you some energy:

• Yes, it made my job massively easier.
• No, it didn’t replace me.
• Yes, it allowed a bunch of new people to also do the job I do. Welcome newbies!
• No, my salary didn’t go down, relative to inflation.

It turns out that the last mile to a successful product delivery is still really fucking hard, and this magic bullet tool also didn’t solve that.

Now… Am I talking about…?

• AI?
• Web frameworks?
• English like programming language syntax?
• A compiler with built-in type checking?
• All of the above.
