Software is eating the world, and it's only just getting started.

More like software is eating software now. I don't think anyone is prepared for the fact that practically all junior/midlevel SWE roles are going to be automated away in the next couple years. We'll look back at the last 20 years as a golden age similar to the 20th century postwar period of manufacturing jobs in the US.

It'd be easier to develop an MBA in a box, and exactly zero people are prepared for dealing with that landscape. We're entering an era where the traditional Labor --> Management --> Capital structure no longer needs to apply, and yet everyone thinks Labor is the unnecessary middleman.
