> High levels of reasoning are not required. LLMs are quite good at doing this, although they remain strongly limited by the maximum size of their context. This should really make programmers think. Is it worth writing programs of this kind? Sure, you get paid, and quite handsomely, but if an LLM can do part of it, maybe it's not the best place to be in five or ten years

I appreciate the author writing this article. Whenever I read about future of field, I get anxiety and confusion but then again I think other options too which were available to me was less interest of me.

I am now at the place that I still have the opportunity to pivot and focus on pure/applied mathematics than being in software field.

Honestly I wanted to make money through this career but I don't know what carrer to choose now.

I keep working on myself and don't compare myself to others but if argument is top 1% programmers will be required in the future then I doubt myself because I have still learn lot of things and then how about competing with both experienced & knowledgeable.

I was thinking about pin-pointing a target then becoming expert at it (by 10000 hrs rule)

I'm sorry to ask but today or in-general I am very confused which path/carrer to Target related to computing, Mathematics. Please suggest and give me your valuable advice. Thank you
