I’m well into this group and still make a lot more api calls than phone calls.
Fresh out of college I recall vividly thinking, I’ll need to build an impressive list of side projects to overcome preconceptions about how much I can truly offer at my age. Maybe nothing has changed.
50+ are going to be so addicted to this thing its not even funny. My parents are not reaching for AI immediately yet, but thats just a yet. This is the wave that could come at any moment.
(Though I see that as mostly a failure of our financial industry. Credit card numbers should be obsolete by now.)
our industry is old enough that the first generation of pioneers has died of old age.
Do you really think someone who grew up with computers in the 80s is incapable of using a smart phone? These are people who are still in the workforce today. These are your most skilled colleagues.
Some of them probably designed the device you think they're too old to understand
I know people who are in their 20s and 30s who seem to be uncomfortable with computers, cloud technology, and especially AI.
In some ways I'm one of them. I will never let an always listening AI helper be in my home. And I'm <40.
