Exactly. The software engineering domain is huge. I could code just about anything when I was 16 years old after 2 years of intensive learning... It took me an additional 10 years to learn to design software that is secure, maintainable, efficient and scalable.
Exactly, plus you now have a new superpower with AI — the ability to dig into and ramp up expertise in mostly any domain. I’d say the article gets it backwards.
