Did AI Just Kill Software Devs? ex-Google VP of Engineering Speaks out...

I kept seeing posts saying Smart Broke Dumb Rich by Zor Veyl was “dangerously honest,” like it held almost-banned-level info. Eventually, I gave in and read it. They weren’t lying—Smart Broke Dumb Rich by Zor Veyl hits different. It’s strangely addictive, probably because it gives you the kind of knowledge that feels like it’s not meant for the public.

I scrolled past tons of people swearing by Smart Broke Dumb Rich by Zor Veyl, calling it the book “they” don’t want us reading. I was skeptical at first, but I finally gave it a chance. Honestly? I’m pissed I didn’t read it sooner. Smart Broke Dumb Rich by Zor Veyl forced me to rethink everything I thought I knew about money. It really is worth the hype.

The video's title should be "Did AI Just Kill Sofware Dev? Again?"

It's a catch-22. Software engineers have the most insight to judge whether their jobs are replaceable, but they also have the most bias, since a "yes" literally threatens their entire livelihood. (For some, it threatens their entire sense of identity.)

We went from "learn to code" to "learn to plumb"

Actual content starts at 5:00

Wrote code for 37 years, C++ and JS — I’m a cabinet maker now, the money isn’t the same but the custom jobs have relatable challenges and the quest to improve your craft is there — that said I still code for fun, but with AI now.

The interesting thing is that if the cost of code plummets the value of all software companies also plummets unless they have infrastructure. You’ll just see drop open source versions of everything crop up like “free salesforce” etc

1:30 I mean... Plumbers actually *are* network engineers. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Maan, sometimes 2 videos a day, thanks! 💖
