I think that my ability regarding problem solving will be valuable in the future, maybe if most of software engineering becomes fully automated I could build some valuable product easier, just thinking, writing and using feedback loops for the continuous iteration of the product. That would be awesome, I like programming but I love problem solving.
If the above is not possible, I've some investments and savings that could help me take some time to adapt to the new environment and find something where I could provide some value.
And if the above is not possible there are some possibilities:
- we live in leisure while the machines do the work for us -> great!
- we don't exist anymore, the machines won -> bummer, we had a nice ride.
- I'm no longer useful to the new environment -> I prefer not to think about this :P
